Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Union County, Dustria A. Relph, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (6 pages)

            Darryn Lyn Dugan appeals the sentence imposed by the district court after pleading, contending the court abused its discretion when sentencing him by admitting unauthenticated evidence, failing to consider certain mitigating factors, failing to follow the recommendation made by the presentence investigation report, and declining to suspend incarceration in favor of probation.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence or imposing incarceration, we affirm Dugan’s sentence.
