State v. Flam

TERNUS, Justice.

Defendant, Robert Flam, lost his driver’s license for six years upon his conviction for third-offense operating while intoxicated. See Iowa Code §§ 321J.2, .4(3)(a) (1995). Two years later, on November 5, 1997, he filed an application to have his eligibility for a driver’s license restored pursuant to Iowa Code section 321J.4(3)(b). The district court denied his application because section 321J.4(3)(b) had been repealed by the legislature, effective July 1, 1997. See 1997 Iowa Acts ch. 177, § 9; Iowa Code § 3.7(1). Finding no basis for reversal, we affirm.
