State v. Bullockgreen2 sentences2019The district court acknowledged Barker "received incorrect information as to his 692A registration requirements at multiple points during his criminal prosecution." Yet, relying on State v. Bullock , 638 N.W.2d 728 , 735 (Iowa 2002), the district court found the DPS correctly determined Barker must register as a sex offender for life because "the determination of the length of any required [sex offender] registration is an administrative decision initially committed to the Department of Public Safety." Therefore, the district court concluded both the district court and court of appeals in 2015 2014Tripp, 776 N.W.2d at 858 . 4 Likewise, in State v. Bullock, 638 N.W.2d 728, 734 (Iowa 2002), the defendant’s challenge to the requirement he register as a sex offender was determined not ripe for review because the registration requirement commenced upon his release from prison and he was still incarcerated. | 1 | 3 |
