Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Gregg R. Rosenbladt, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Greer, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Greer, P.J.  (10 pages)

            Ryan Allen appeals his sentence as imposed by the district court, after this court remanded for resentencing.  He makes four arguments on appeal, only one of which is preserved for review.  He argues the district court erred when it used a risk assessment that considered Allen’s unemployment before incarceration, as he is now employed in prison.  OPINION HOLDS: We find the district court exercised proper discretion in considering the risk assessment during sentencing and affirm the sentence imposed by the district court.
