William R. Scott appeals from a judgment of conviction and sentence after he pled guilty to operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent. He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion to modify his sentence. Scott claims: (1) the trial court erred when it determined that the Criminal Penalties Study Committee’s proposal to reclassify the crime of operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent was not a new factor; (2) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when it imposed what he claims was an unduly harsh and disproportionate sentence; and (3) the sentence imposed by the trial court violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution because it is disproportionate to the gravity of the offense.
We affirm.
This opinion will not be published.
