STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED December 8, 2000 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 217117 Wayne Circuit Court LC No. 98-004572 ROBERT WILSON, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Bandstra, C.J., and Fitzgerald and D. B. Leiber*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right from his sentences of 11 to 30 years’ for assault with intent to rob while armed, MCL 750.89; MSA 28.284, 4 to 10 years’ for assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, MCL 750.84; MSA 28.279, and 2 years’ for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.424(2), with credit for 252 days, entered after a bench trial. We affirm. Defendant argues that he is entitled to resentencing because the trial court failed to articulate the reasons for the sentences imposed. We disagree and affirm defendant’s sentences. In imposing sentence, the trial court noted the guidelines range for assault with intent to rob while armed, the most serious of defendant’s convictions, and stated that it would sentence defendant within those guidelines. A trial court’s stated reliance on the guidelines constitutes sufficient articulation. People v Lawson, 195 Mich App 76, 77; 489 NW2d 147 (1992). Affirmed. /s/ Richard A. Bandstra /s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald /s/ Dennis B. Leiber * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1-
