STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED May 13, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 193264 Kent Circuit Court LC No. 95-1717 FH CHRISTIAN WOODS, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Corrigan, C.J., and Young and M.J. Talbot*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. The trial court made moot the issue concerning the scoring of Offense Variable 8 by informing defendant that the sentence imposed was the same sentence it would have imposed had it accepted defendant’s scoring challenge. People v Hull, 437 Mich 868; 462 NW2d 585 (1990). Moreover, sentence guideline calculation issues do not in any event furnish a cognizable basis for appellate relief. People v Mitchell, 454 Mich 145; ___ NW2d ___ (1997). The trial court imposed a sentence tailored to the circumstances of the offense and the offender. People v Van Etten, 163 Mich App 593; 415 NW2d 215 (1987). The sentence imposed does not violate the principle of proportionality, especially in light of the leniency accorded defendant by the plea agreement. People v Milbourn, 435 Mich 630; 461 NW2d 1 (1990); People v Duprey, 186 Mich App 313, 318; 463 NW2d 240 (1990). Affirmed. /s/ Maura D. Corrigan /s/ Robert P. Young, Jr. /s/ Michael J. Talbot * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
