Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clay County, Andrew J. Smith, District Associate Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (5 pages)
Joshua Alan Richardson appeals the sentence imposed after pleading guilty to possession of methamphetamine. OPINION HOLDS: Although the court imposed an illegal sentence, the circumstances of this case would lead to imposition of the same sentence if we remand for resentencing. Because our opinion would have no force or effect, the appeal is moot.
