Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Brook Jacobsen, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. Dissent by Buller, J. (5 pages)
A defendant appeals his sentence for assault causing bodily injury. OPINION HOLDS: Finding that the district court sentenced the defendant according to his plea agreement but included the wrong assault title and code section in the judgment order, we affirm the conviction and remand for the district court to amend the judgment to reflect the correct offense. DISSENT ASSERTS: Because the elected branches did not intend for us to find “good cause” to correct typos, I dissent.
