Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Worth County, Elizabeth Batey, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (6 pages)
Defendant-Appellant Gregory Jackson appeals following his jury trial convictions for operating while intoxicated, first offense, a serious misdemeanor in violation of Iowa Code section 321J.2(2)(a) (2023), and possession of a controlled substance, first offense, a serious misdemeanor in violation of Iowa Code section 124.401(5). On appeal Jackson claims that the district court failed to apply the proper weight-of-the-evidence standard when ruling upon his motion for new trial. OPINION HOLDS: Because Jackson never received a ruling on the weight-of-the-evidence challenge and failed to preserve error, we affirm.
