Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Andrea J. Dryer, Judge.  REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (6 pages)

            Brandon Brown appeals the district court’s denial of his application to modify his sex offender registry requirements.  OPINION HOLDS: The district court erred when it found that Brown did not meet the step-one requirement to modify his registry requirements.  The district court did not provide sufficient analysis regarding step two so that we may determine whether it abused its discretion on that step.  Accordingly, the matter is remanded for rehearing on step two.
