Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 214356
Wayne Circuit Court
LC No. 98-002562
EDWARD COON,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hood and Saad, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant appeals as of right from his conviction by a jury of possession with intent to deliver
less than 50 grams of heroin, MCL 333.7401(2)(a)(iv); MSA 14.15(7401)(2)(a)(iv), for which he was
sentenced to serve four to twenty years in prison. We affirm.
Defendant argues on appeal that his four-year minimum sentence is disproportionate. We
disagree. The sentence was within the sentencing guidelines’ range of one to five years and, therefore,
was presumptively proportionate. People v Poppa, 193 Mich App 184, 189; 483 NW2d 667
(1992). The sentencing court adequately considered the background of the offender and the
circumstances surrounding the offense. We find no abuse of sentencing discretion. People v Milbourn,
435 Mich 630; 461 NW2d 1 (1990).
Affirmed.
/s/ Kathleen Jansen
/s/ Harold Hood
