STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED March 4, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 182194 Recorder’s Court LC No. 94-006219 MELVIN DAVIS, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Griffin and M.R. Knoblock,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery, MCL 750.529; MSA 28.797, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.424(2). He was sentenced to five to fifteen years’ imprisonment for each of the robbery convictions, plus two years’ consecutive imprisonment for the felony-firearm conviction. He appeals as of right. We affirm. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(A). There i no ambiguity in the record with respect to the correct sentencing guidelines’ range. s Reading the entire sentencing transcript in context, it is clear that the “other one” referred to by the court was one of the two armed robberies that defendant was involved in. The court and counsel agreed that defendant would be sentenced based on the guidelines’ range for the robbery with the highest scores. This claim is without merit. Defendant’s sentences for the armed robbery convictions are within the recommended range of the sentencing guidelines and do not violate the principle of proportionality.
