2 VAITHESWARAN, J. Ronald Wiederien appeals a civil domestic abuse protective order issued in favor of his ex-wife, Lisa Wiederien. He contends the district court's finding that he committed domestic abuse assault is unsupported by a preponderance of the evidence. He specifically maintains there was insufficient evidence he

performed an act "intended to place another in fear of immediate physical contact which will be painful, injurious, insulting, or offensive, coupled with the apparent ability to execute the act." See Iowa Code
