Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Ahlers, JJ., and Blane, S.J.  Opinion by Ahlers, J. (3 pages)

            Neal Hollingsworth appeals his sentence following his guilty plea.  He claims the sentencing court was required to give specific reasons for imposing the fine associated with one count and suspending the fine on another count.  OPINION HOLDS: We have already rejected the same claim because sentencing courts are not required to provide reasons for rejecting specific sentencing options.
