Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Ian K. Thornhill, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (16 pages)
On interlocutory appeal, Matthew Noehl challenges the district court’s order granting the State’s motion to amend to “change[] the dates of the alleged offense conduct in three different trial informations in the attempt to maintain the adult criminal court’s jurisdiction over [him].” Noehl claims the court “lacked jurisdiction over his case”; the State’s amendments to the trial information “were not authorized by Iowa law”; and the court erred in “declining to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine jurisdiction.” OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm.
