¶1On June 19, 2003, the defendant was sentenced to two (2) years in the Montana State Prison, for violations of the conditions of a suspended sentence for the offense of Theft, a felony.

¶2On November 13, 2003, the defendant's application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court.

¶3The defendant was present and was represented by Alice Kennedy. The state was not represented.

¶4Before hearing the application, the defendant was advised that the Sentence Review Division has the authority not only to reduce the sentence or affirm it, but also increase it. The defendant was further advised that there is no appeal from a decision of the Sentence Review Division. The defendant acknowledged that he understood this and stated that he did not wish to proceed.

¶5Therefore, it is the unanimous decision of the Sentence Review Division that the application for review of sentence shall be dismissed.

¶6Done in open Court this 13 th day of November, 2003.

Chairperson, Hon. Katherine R. Curtis, Member, Hon. Marc G. Buyske and Member, Hon. Gary Day.
