Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Buchanan County, Laura Parrish, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., Langholz, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (4 pages)
Cole Michael Johnson appeals his convictions after pleading guilty to four charges. OPINION HOLDS: Johnson was adequately advised of the requirement of filing a motion in arrest of judgment to challenge his guilty plea and waived this right to do so, which precludes him from challenging his pleas on appeal. Because Johnson has not established good cause to pursue his appeal as a matter of right, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal and must dismiss it.
