STATE PUBLIC DEFENDER, Plaintiff v. IOWA DISTRICT COURT FOR CLARKE COUNTY, Defendant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

March 7, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas G. Becker, State Public Defender, and Mark C. Smith, First Assistant State Public Defender, for plaintiff.

Scott L. Bandstra, Des Moines, for defendant.

LARSON, Justice.

The Clarke County District Court allowed attorney fees that exceeded an existing legal services contract between attorney Scott Bandstra and the state public defender. The public defender petitioned for certiorari, and we issued the writ. We conclude the district court exceeded its authority in granting fees beyond the amount provided for in the contract and therefore sustain the writ.
