Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Buchanan County, John J. Sullivan, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (4 pages)
Kenneth Edwin Barnes appeals his sentences after pleading guilty to possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and possession of marijuana, third or subsequent offense. OPINION HOLDS: The district court accepted Barnes’s guilty pleas and denied his motion in arrest of judgment. Barnes does not challenge the denial of his motion in arrest on appeal. Because the ruling and Barnes’s guilty pleas stand, the sentencing court did not abuse its discretion by considering the plea agreement in sentencing Barnes.
