STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED August 26, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 196984 Berrien Circuit Court LC No. 93-001030-FH ANTHONY WALKER, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Sawyer, P.J., and Bandstra and E. A. Quinnell*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant pleaded guilty to possession of less than twenty-five grams of cocaine, MCL 333.7403(1) and (2)(a)(v); MSA 14.15(7403)(1) and (2)(a)(v), and received a sentence of three years’ probation. He subsequently pleaded guilty to violating the terms of his probation and was sentenced to sixteen to forty-eight months in prison. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm. Defendant’s sentence does not violate the principle of proportionality, in light of the number of probation violations incurred by defendant during the course of his probation and the trial court’s failed efforts to rehabilitate defendant through substance abuse treatment, confinement to jail for short periods of time and placement of defendant in the tether program. People v Reynolds, 195 Mich App 182, 184-185; 489 NW2d 128 (1992). Affirmed. /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Richard A. Bandstra /s/ Edward A. Quinnell * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
