Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mark Fowler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard at oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (7 pages)
James Tate appeals his convictions following his conditional guilty pleas, challenging the denial of his motion to compel evidence involving a confidential informant. OPINION HOLDS: Because Tate failed to preserve error on his challenge concerning the confidential informant and Tate has presented no legal authority to support his argument that the district court applied the wrong standard in the ruling on the motion to compel, as required by Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.903(2)(a)(8)(3), we do not reach the merits of his claim.
