No. 05-1145.

747 N.W.2d 218 (2008)

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

Supreme Court of Iowa.

April 11, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas G. Becker, State Public Defender, and Julie A. Miller, Assistant State Public Defender, for plaintiff.


CADY, Justice.

In this certiorari action, we review a district court order that directs the State Public Defender to pay from the indigent defense fund a fee claim submitted by an attorney for services rendered in a child-in-need-of-assistance proceeding. We conclude the decision of the district court is not supported by substantial evidence. We sustain the writ of certiorari.
