Plaintiff-Appellee,
V
No. 257072
Saginaw Circuit Court
LC No. 01-020609-FH
PATRICK KENNETH COLLISON,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Hoekstra, P.J., and Neff and Davis, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Defendant appeals by delayed leave granted the trial court’s order denying his motion to
correct his presentence investigation report. We affirm.
Defendant pleaded nolo contendere to, among other offenses, one count of conducting a
criminal enterprise in violation of MCL 750.159i(1). In a post-sentencing motion to correct the
presentence investigation report prepared in connection with that conviction, defendant asserted
that the report incorrectly indicated an offense date of January 26, 2001, in violation of his right
to have forwarded to the department of corrections an accurate presentence investigation report.
However, noting that there was no dispute that “the last offense of those charged in the criminal
enterprise count [occurred] on January 26, 2001,” the trial court found the date indicated for that
offense to be appropriate and, accordingly, denied defendant’s motion. We find no error in the
trial court’s decision in this regard.
A trial court’s response to a claim of inaccuracies in a defendant’s presentence
investigation report is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. People v Spanke, 254 Mich App 642,
648; 658 NW2d 504 (2003); see also People v Norman, 148 Mich App 273, 274-275; 384 NW2d
147 (1986) (a defendant has a right to have forwarded to the department of corrections an
accurate presentence investigation report). Here, the record reflects that the pattern of activity
comprising the criminal enterprise of which defendant was charged and ultimately convicted
began on July 15, 1997 and continued through January 26, 2001. Thus, to the extent that the
report at issue here indicates an offense date reflective of the entirety of the criminal enterprise in
which defendant participated, it is accurate. Further, on review de novo, see People v Maynor,
470 Mich 289, 294; 683 NW2d 565 (2004), we find without merit defendant’s argument that
although he was charged and pleaded nolo contendere to conducting a criminal enterprise based
on acts that began on July 15, 1997 and continued until January 26, 2001, his crime was
complete for purposes of determining his offense date on January 18, 1998 because MCL
-1-
750.159f(c) defines the element of engaging in a “pattern of racketeering activity” as “not less
than 2 incidents of racketeering . . . .” This definition sets a minimum threshold for purposes of
establishing that element. That minimum threshold, however, does not limit the extent of any
particular criminal enterprise under MCL 750.159i. Here, the record clearly supports a finding
that defendant’s criminal enterprise was ongoing until January 26, 2001. Consequently, the trial
court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant’s motion.
Affirmed.
