Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Joseph L. Tofilon, District Associate Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (4 pages)
Lucious Jackson appeals his conviction following guilty plea for marijuana possession, second offense. He contends the sentence was illegal because the district court applied a sentencing enhancement without admission of a prior conviction. OPINION HOLDS: Jackson admitted having a prior drug possession conviction. And because he did not move in arrest of judgment to challenge his plea, he cannot show good cause to appeal under Iowa Code section 814.6 (2023). We lack jurisdiction and dismiss his appeal.
