Said sentences shall run consecutive.
¶2On November 6,2014, the Defendant’s Application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court (hereafter “the Division”).
¶3The Defendant was present and was represented by Ed Sheehy, Jr., Montana Office of Public Defender. The State was not represented.
¶4Before hearing the Application, the Defendant was advised that tike Division has the authority not only to reduce the sentence or affirm it, but also increase it. The Defendant *134was further advised that there is no appeal from a decision of the Division. The Defendant acknowledged that he understood this and stated that he wished to proceed.
¶5Bule 12, Rules of the Sentence Review Division of the Supreme Court of Montana, provides that, “The sentence imposed by the District Court is presumed correct. The sentence shall not be reduced or increased unless it is clearly inadequate or clearly excessive.” (Section 46-18-904(3), MCA).
¶6The Division finds that the reasons advanced for modification are insufficient to hold that the sentence imposed by the District Court is clearly inadequate or clearly excessive.
¶7Therefore, it is the unanimous decision of the Division that the sentence shall be AFFIRMED.
¶8Done in open Court this 6th day of November, 2014.
