Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Meghan K. Corbin, Judge.  CONVICTIONS AFFIRMED; SENTENCES VACATED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.  Heard by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ., but decided by Tabor, P.J., Greer, J., and Bower, S.J.  Opinion by Bower, S.J.  (19 pages)

            Clinton Vanfossen appeals his convictions for electronic or mechanical eavesdropping, preventing apprehension or obstruction of prosecution, and five counts of invasion of privacy–nudity.  Vanfossen challenges the district court’s denial of his motion in limine, the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his convictions, and the sentence imposed by the court.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon review, we affirm Vanfossen’s convictions, but we vacate the sentencing order and remand for resentencing.
