STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED October 3, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 195283 Isabella Circuit Court LC No. 95-007172 FC TRACY LYNNETTE COLE, a/k/a TRACEY L. COLE, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Doctoroff, P.J., and Cavanagh and Saad, J.J. MEMORANDUM. Defendant pleaded guilty to armed robbery, MCL 750.529; MSA 28.797, and received an enhanced sentence of ten to fifteen years’ imprisonment, based on her status as a second offender. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm. Defendant argues that the trial court erroneously accepted her guilty plea because the record fails to contain a sufficient factual basis to support the plea, because defendant’s admissions failed to demonstrate that she possessed the requisite intent for armed robbery. Defendant has waived appellate review of this issue by failing to move in the trial court to withdraw her plea on the same ground as advanced on appeal. People v Beasley, 198 Mich App 40, 43; 497 NW2d 200 (1993). The trial court did not abuse its sentencing discretion when it imposed a ten-year minimum sentence. People v Hansford (After Remand), 454 Mich 320; 562 NW2d 460 (1997). The sentence imposed was proportionate in light of defendant’s lengthy c riminal history and the benefit bestowed upon defendant by the plea agreement. People v Yeoman, 218 Mich App 406, 422; 554 NW2d 577 (1996); People v Ward, 206 Mich App 38, 45; 520 NW2d 363 (1994). Affirmed. /s/ Martin M. Doctoroff /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Henry W. Saad -1­ -2­
