Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Christopher Bruns, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., Langholz, J., and Telleen, S.J. Opinion by Telleen, S.J. (9 pages)
Alivonta Deneil Turner appeals the district court’s custody order granting Ariana Elizabeth Garrels physical care and sole legal custody to their child. In addition to arguments regarding the custody and physical care issues, Turner argues that Iowa Code section 610.1 (2022), which provides the fee for ordering the transcript of the district court proceedings cannot be deferred, is unconstitutional and that requiring him to pay the transcript fee violates his constitutional rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because all of Turner’s arguments are waived or meritless to the extent they are properly raised, we affirm the district court’s decree.
