2. “|4BY the court We’re on the matter of State of Louisiana versus Allen J. Lewis. This is Docket Number 72997-FA. We’re here for Sentencing. I have received the Pre-Sentence Investigation, I have read it thoroughly, I have gone through the sentencing guidelines that is provided for by Code of Criminal Procedure Article 894.1. Particularly, I have looked at Paragraph A, Subparagraph 1, 2 and 3 where there is an undue risk that during the period there is no suspended sentence which can be provided for. The defendant is in need of correctional treatment or custodial environment, and any lesser sentence would deprecate the sentence, the seriousness of the sentence of the defendant’s crime.”
