Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (8 pages)

            Julien Skipper appeals his sentence to domestic abuse assault resulting in bodily injury and violation of the sex offender registry.  He contends the State breached their plea agreement and the sentencing court abused its discretion in adopting the State’s recommendation.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the plea agreement did not encompass the alleged violation, the State’s recommendation was not a breach.  We see no abuse of discretion in the sentence.  Thus, we affirm.
