MULLINS, P.J.

Eric Findley appeals following his guilty plea to two counts of failure to comply with the sex offender registry. He claims his attorney was ineffective in permitting him to plead guilty to the charges when there was not a factual basis to support the element that he is a Tier III offender. We review the entire record to determine if there is a factual basis to support the plea. See State v. Finney, 834 N.W.2d 46, 62 (Iowa 2013). Our review of the record indicates Findley admitted to being a Tier III offender during the plea colloquy and the minutes of testimony specify Findley was a Tier III offender. Because a factual basis supports his guilty plea, Findley’s attorney was not ineffective in failing to file a motion in arrest of judgment. We therefore affirm Findley’s conviction and sentence pursuant to Iowa Court Rule 21.26(1)(a), (c), and (e).

AFFIRMED.
