Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Sean McPartland, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (7 pages)
Mazin Mohamedali appeals the summary disposition of his application for postconviction relief following revocation of his probation. OPINION HOLDS: Mohamedali’s challenge to the probation-revocation court’s imposition of a new sentence, which was harsher than the suspended sentence he already received, amounts to an illegal sentence. The probation-revocation court’s imposition of a new, harsher sentence was illegal. We reverse and remand for entry of an order granting Mohamedali’s motion for summary judgment and an order striking the portion of the probation-revocation order imposing the mandatory minimum sentence.
