Sentencing – discretion – ERP — CIP

Freddie Lee Soles, Jr., appeals a judgment convicting him of theft by false representation and fraud against a financial institution. He also appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues: (1) that he received ineffective assistance of counsel; (2) that the circuit court misused its discretion by treating his postconviction motion as a collateral attack on the judgment of conviction; (3) that the circuit court misused its sentencing discretion because it imposed a sentence on him that was harsher than the sentences imposed on his co-defendants; and (4) that the circuit court misused its sentencing discretion because it failed to explain on the record at sentencing whether he was eligible for the Earned Release Program or the Challenge Incarceration Program. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
