Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Benton County, Ian K. Thornhill, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Schumacher, P.J.  (10 pages)

            A jury convicted Stacy Diveley on six counts of child endangerment.  Stacy appeals, challenging the district court’s denial of her motion for mistrial.  Stacy raises two Brady challenges and one rule 5.403 challenge.  The State disputes Stacy preserved error on these issues.  OPINION HOLDS: Stacy failed to preserve error on her Brady challenges.  Assuming she preserved error on her rule 5.403 challenge, her failure to provide supportive legal authority has waived the issue.  Accordingly, we affirm.
