Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 198253
Ingham Circuit Court
LC No. 95-068943 FH
RUFUS JONES,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O'Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea and sentence agreement to conspiracy to deliver 50
grams or more, but less than 225 grams of cocaine, MCL 333.7401(1) and (2)(a)(iii); MSA
14.15(7401)(1) and (2)(a)(iii); MCL 750.157a; MSA 28.354(1), and to conspiracy to deliver less than
50 grams of cocaine, MCL 333.7401(1) and (2)(a)(iv); MSA 14.15(7401)(1) and (2)(a)(iv); MCL
750.157a; MSA 28.354(1). In return, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss a charge of conspiracy to
deliver more than 650 grams of cocaine, and that defendant's combined minimum sentences would not
exceed 17 years. Defendant received consecutive sentences of ten to twenty years’ imprisonment and
seven and twenty years’ imprisonment, respectively which was in accordance with the sentence
agreement. Defendant appeals as of right. We affirm.
The trial court correctly imposed consecutive sentences. MCL 333.7401(3); MSA
14.15(7401)(3); People v Denio, 454 Mich 691, 695, 704; 564 NW2d 13 (1997). The sentencing
agreement entered into by defendant and the prosecutor was not unlawful, Denio, supra, and,
therefore, defendant is not entitled to withdraw his pleas.
Affirmed.
