Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Coleman McAllister and Jeanie Vaudt, Judges.  AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., Schumacher, J., and Carr, S.J.  Opinion by Carr, S.J.  (14 pages)

            Carter Woodruff appeals his convictions for assault causing bodily injury, lascivious acts with a child, and assault while participating in a felony.  OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court’s denial of Woodruff’s request for a Franks hearing based on his claim the search warrant application for his tablet contained false and misleading information.  We also affirm the denial of his motion to suppress information obtained from the tablet.  We determine Woodruff’s convictions for assault causing bodily injury and assault while participating in a felony should be merged.  We find the district court did not give adequate reasons for making the sentences in this case consecutive to a probation revocation matter.  We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for resentencing.
