STATE of Iowa, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Kashia Nicole MYRICK, Defendant–Appellant.
A court that relies solely upon this form's boilerplate for explanation of the sentence it imposes, without more, skates on thin ice. When the reasons for a particular sentence are not established by the record, we are normally required to remand the case for resentencing. See State v. Alloway, 707 N.W.2d 582, 585 (Iowa 2006), overruled on other grounds by State v. Johnson, 784 N.W.2d 192, 197–98 (Iowa 2010). But here, we are not required to remand because Myrick voluntarily waived her claims of error.
