Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Kathryn E. Austin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., Langholz, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (4 pages)
Ephirem Gurisho entered Alford pleas to two counts of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse and one count of indecent contact with a child. The district court sentenced him to incarceration for an indeterminate twelve-year term with credit for time served. Gurisho contends that the court abused its discretion by imposing consecutive sentences of incarceration without stating sufficient reasons. OPINION HOLDS: Finding adequate reasons in the sentencing colloquy, we affirm.
