Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Buchanan County, Stephanie C. Rattenborg, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (3 pages)

            Traci Chamberlain seeks discretionary review of the district court’s ruling affirming both her simple misdemeanor convictions for violations of a no-contact order.  She claims the district court could not have conducted a full and fair review of the record because the magistrate failed to forward the necessary parts of the record required by Iowa Rule of Criminal Procedure 2.72(3).  OPINION HOLDS: We affirm because Chamberlain failed to show that the district court did not have the applicable record available to it.  And even if the district court did not have the applicable record, Chamberlain failed to preserve error on the issue.
