RECORD OF PLEA OF GUILTY AND

SENTENCING ORDER

Defendant.
DATE:
February 4, 2015
CHARGE:
Failure to Have a Valid License or Permit while Operating a Motor

Vehicle, a scheduled violation, in violation of Iowa Code
321.174(1)
Defendant has filed a written guilty plea and a waiver of Defendants right to be
present for sentencing. Defendant asks that the plea to the above charge be accepted
and that sentence be imposed pursuant to the plea arrangement agreed upon by the
parties without the formality of the record required by Rules 2.8 and 2.10 of the Iowa
Rules of Criminal Procedure.
The Court hereby informs Defendant that Defendants plea of guilty to the
above-referenced charge is accepted.
IT IS THE ORDER OF THE COURT AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Defendant is adjudicated guilty of the above-described crime and
pursuant to Iowa Code Section 903.1.
2.
Defendant is hereby sentenced as follows:
a.
Defendant shall pay financial obligations as follows:
(1)
a fine in the sum of $200.00;
(2)
a 35% surcharge of $70.00;
(3)
court-appointed attorney fees certified by Mr. Schulte. The
Court has determined, by information presented by the
parties, that Defendant is able to pay court-appointed
attorney fees; and
(4) the court costs of this action.
Defendant shall pay these financial obligations to the Clerk of Court
of this county or online at www.iowacourts.gov. Such financial
obligations may be paid in monthly installments of at least $50.00
per month beginning on the 15th day of March, 2015, and
continuing on the 15th day of each month thereafter until paid in
full. If any installment is missed, in whole or in part, it may be

considered a violation of this Order. In addition, if the installment
payment becomes delinquent by 30 days or more, then, pursuant
to Iowa Code Section 602.8107, this case shall be assigned to the
Centralized Collection Unit of the Iowa Department of Revenue or
its designee to collect the debts owed to the Clerk of Court. In the
event this matter is assigned for collection, additional fees may be
imposed pursuant to law.
3.
The Court grants this sentence because it provides for Defendants
rehabilitation and the protection of the community. The Court has considered the
sentencing recommendation of the parties.
4.
Defendant has a statutory right to appeal by filing written notice of appeal
with the Clerk of Court of this county within 30 days of the date of these proceedings.
If Defendant is unable to pay the costs of appeal, Defendant may apply to the Court for
appointment of counsel and the furnishing of a transcript of the evidence as provided in
Iowa Code Sections 814.9 and 814.11. Filing a notice of appeal within the time and in
the manner specified in Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.101 is jurisdictional and
failure to comply with these provisions shall preclude Defendants right of appeal.
5.
Appeal Bond is set in the sum of $5,000.00, cash or surety.
6.
Any cash bail posted by Defendant or on Defendants behalf by a third
party that has acknowledged or agreed that the money posted can be applied toward
Defendants financial obligations shall be applied toward Defendants financial
obligations. All cash bail remaining, if any, after payment of Defendants financial
obligations and all cash bail posted by a third party that has not acknowledged or
agreed that the money posted can be applied toward Defendants financial obligations
is hereby exonerated and shall be returned to the person posting the cash bail. All noncash bail bonds posted, if any, are hereby exonerated.
