Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Muscatine County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (2 pages)
Dereck Elliott appeals from his guilty plea for assault while displaying a dangerous weapon. Elliott argues the district court failed to ensure the record contained a factual basis for the statutory provisions under which he pled guilty. OPINION HOLDS: Because Elliott failed to file a motion in arrest of judgment, we must dismiss his appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
