Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Page County, Jennifer Benson Bahr, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Badding, J. (3 pages)

            Kegan Morris appeals his conviction for assault on persons in certain occupations causing bodily injury.  He argues there was insufficient evidence to prove he caused bodily injury to the correctional officer.  OPINION HOLDS: We find the correctional officer’s testimony that he felt pain after being punched by Morris sufficient to establish bodily injury.  As such, we affirm his conviction.
