BEACHUM, II, Defendant-Appellant. Before: D.F. Walsh,* P.J., and R.P. Griffin** and W.P. Cynar,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pleaded guilty to uttering and publishing over $50 but less than $200, MCL 750.131(3)(b)(1); MSA 28.326(3)(b)(1), and was sentenced to one year probation and ordered to pay costs and restitution. He appeals as of right. We affirm. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(A). The sentencing articulation requirement was satisfied by the context of the trial court’s remarks preceding sentencing. People v Lawson, 195 Mich App 76; 489 NW2d 147 (1992). Moreover, this issue is moot in light of the fact that defendant has successfully completed the terms of his probationary sentence and has been discharged from probation.
