PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
UNPUBLISHED

Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 217118
Wayne Circuit Court
Criminal Division
LC No. 98-004498
REGINALD S. COLEMAN,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Zahra, P.J., and Hood and McDonald, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant was convicted by a jury of three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct,
MCL 750.520b(1)(a); MSA 28.788(2)(1)(a), and five counts of second-degree criminal sexual
conduct, MCL 750.520c(1)(a); MSA 28.788(3)(1)(a). He was sentenced to three terms of forty
to eighty years each for the first-degree CSC convictions, and five terms of ten to fifteen years
each for the second-degree CSC convictions, all sentences to be served concurrently. He appeals
as of right. We affirm.
Defendant argues that his forty to eighty year sentences are disproportionate under People
v Milbourn, 435 Mich 630, 636; 461 NW2d 1 (1990). We disagree.
Defendant’s sentences are within the range recommended by the sentencing guidelines
and, therefore, are presumptively proportionate. Milbourn, supra at 656; People v Broden, 428
Mich 343, 354-355; 408 NW2d 789 (1987). Considering the seriousness of the offenses and
defendant’s prior criminal record, we conclude that defendant has failed to overcome the
presumption of proportionality.
Affirmed.
