Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Justin Lightfoot, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Ahlers, J., and Vogel, S.J. Chicchelly, J., takes no part. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (11 pages)
Stephanie Eakes appeals the denial of her application for postconviction relief (PCR), arguing the district court erred in rejecting her claim that the sentence imposed on her felony conviction was improperly treated as running consecutively to the sentence imposed on a prior conviction for which she was on parole when she committed the new offense. Also submitted with this appeal for our consideration is the State’s motion to dismiss the appeal as moot. OPINION HOLDS: We deny the State’s motion to dismiss but affirm the denial of Eakes’s PCR application on the merits.
