State of Iowa
v.
Guillermo Avalos Valdez
Defendant, who pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, appeals the sentence of incarceration entered on the conviction. Defendant contends the district court erred in denying his request for probation by considering his status as an undocumented immigrant and the likelihood of his deportation in the event probation were granted.
