Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (4 pages)
Justin Pries appeals his conviction based on an alleged defect in his plea proceedings. He contends the district court failed to engage in a sufficient plea colloquy, which violated his constitutional rights. OPINION HOLDS: As Pries has not demonstrated a potential ground for relief to support an appeal from a guilty plea, we are without jurisdiction to hear the appeal, and it must be dismissed.
