Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Becky Goettsch, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (4 pages)
As part of a global plea agreement involving five cases, Tyler Goode pled guilty to domestic abuse assault causing injury in SRCR373877—the only case at issue in this appeal. Goode argues he entered his guilty plea involuntarily and the prosecutor breached the plea agreement by not making the sentencing recommendations to which they agreed. OPINION HOLDS: Because Goode did not file a motion in arrest of judgment and because his real complaint is with the sentence he received in AGCR376051, which is not properly before us, there is no potential we could provide Goode relief on either of his claims. Therefore, Goode lacks good cause to bring this appeal. We dismiss.
