Newell, District Associate Judge. Benjamin Bradley appeals from sentences imposed upon his convictions for driving while barred, possession of a controlled substance, and child endangerment. AFFIRMED. Mark C. Smith, State Appellate Defender, and Robert P. Ranschau, Assistant State Appellate Defender, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Linda J. Hines, Assistant Attorney General, Kasey E. Wadding, County Attorney, and Jill Dashner, Assistant County Attorney, for appellee. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Danilson and Mullins, JJ. 2 DANILSON, J. The defendant, Benjamin Bradley pleaded guilty to the offenses of driving while barred, possession of a controlled substance, and child endangerment. Bradley appeals from the sentences imposed, contending the court abused its discretion in not placing him on probation. The district court entered judgment upon the convictions, imposed sentences within the statutory limits, and stated adequate reasons therefore. See State v. Formaro, 638 N.W.2d 720, 724-25 (Iowa 2002). Before the instant sentencing, Bradley had had probation revoked twice, parole revoked once, a prior child endangerment conviction, and multiple convictions for driving while barred. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm. 6.1203(d); Iowa Ct. R. 21.29(a), (e). AFFIRMED. See Iowa R. App. P.
