Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Butler County, Chris Foy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (12 pages)
Cassidy Young appeals following his Alford pleas to two counts of lascivious acts with a child. Young asserts the post-plea competency assessment and the presentencing investigation, neither of which was conducted in-person, deprived him of due process. He also contends the court erred in denying his motion in arrest of judgment based on newly discovered evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Even assuming Young has good cause to appeal, his contentions lack merit. So, we affirm.
