01-1564-CR State v. Sendejo

By: dmc-admin//February 18, 2002//

Listen to this article

Kevin L. Sendejo appeals from a judgment, an amended judgment, and an order denying his motion to modify his sentence. Sendejo claims that the corrected judgment is invalid because it was not ordered by the trial court and the sentence imposed was invalid because the trial court failed to state adequate reasons for the specific sentence. Because the court needs to authorize a correction in the judgment, we remand the matter with directions to the trial court to enter a written order directing the clerk of court to make the appropriate correction on the written judgment of conviction.

However, the sentencing court did not erroneously exercise its discretion when it imposed sentence and, therefore, we affirm on that issue.

This opinion will not be published.
