Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Stephen A. Owen, Judge. AFFIRMED IN PART, VACATED IN PART, AND REMANDED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (8 pages)
Janet Carver appeals her sentences following her guilty pleas to identity theft and second-degree theft. She contends the district court failed to provide sufficient reasons for imposing consecutive sentences and improperly ordered pecuniary damages for charges not included in Carver’s plea of guilty. OPINION HOLDS: The district court gave sufficient reasons for imposing consecutive sentences, but the pecuniary damages portion of the sentencing order does not comply with Iowa law. We affirm in part, vacate in part, and remand.
