Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jasper County, Charles Sinnard, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, C.J.  (7 pages)

            Harold Meyer appeals the denial of his request to modify his status on the sex offender registry.  The district court determined that Meyer was not eligible for modification under Iowa Code section 692A.128(2)(b) (2022) because he did not complete required sex offender treatment programs.  Meyer argues that he was not required to attend sex offender treatment while incarcerated under the reasoning of two Iowa Supreme Court cases from 2009 addressing eligibility for earned time.  OPINION HOLDS: Because substantial evidence supports the determination that Meyer refused to participate in required sex offender treatment, he did not meet the threshold test for modification.  We thus affirm the district court’s denial.
