Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey D. Bert, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED FOR ENTRY OF CORRECTED SENTENCING ORDER. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (5 pages)
Quaysean Purdy appeals the fines imposed following his convictions for third-degree sexual abuse and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse. He argues the district court abused its discretion when it set the fine on each count. OPINION HOLDS: The district court did not abuse its discretion when setting the fines on either count. However, we remand for entry of a corrected sentencing order to harmonize the written sentencing order with the oral pronouncement of sentencing on the assault-with-intent-to-commit-sexual-abuse conviction setting the term incarceration not to exceed two years and imposing a fine of $855.
