Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Muscatine County, Joel W. Barrows, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (5 pages)
Courtney Ashby appeals the sentencing imposed after pleading guilty to theft in the second degree and extortion. She alleges the district court abused its discretion in denying her request for probation and sentencing her to prison. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the district court did not rely on improper sentencing factors in imposing a prison sentence, we affirm Ashby’s sentences.
