Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, The Honorable Thomas A. Bitter, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (6 pages).
Troy Meyer appeals the district court’s sentencing decision following his guilty plea, including the imposition of restitution. Meyer claims the district court erred by not considering all relevant factors when formulating the sentencing decision and in failing to explain why the sentence differed from the plea agreement. Meyer also contends that there was insufficient evidence of the amount of damages imposed in the restitution order. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we find no abuse of discretion by the district court in the sentencing decision and no error in the restitution portion of the sentencing order. We affirm.
