STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED February 17, 1998 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 198579 Recorder’s Court LC No. 96-001110 CARL STRINGER, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Michael J. Kelly, P.J., and Fitzgerald and M.G. Harrison*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Following a bench trial, defendant was convicted of three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, MCL 750.520c; MSA 28.788, involving his eleven-year old daughter. The trial court sentenced him to two to fifteen years’ imprisonment on each count, to be served concurrently. On this appeal of right, defendant contends that the trial court failed to adequately articulate the reasons for the sentences imposed. We affirm. In violation of MCR 7.212(C)(7), defendant has failed to furnish this Court a copy of the presentence report, precluding appellate review of any sentencing issues. In any event, however, the issue presented is without merit. In the context of the statements made during allocution by defendant, defense counsel, and the prosecutor, the trial court’s statement concerning its reasons for the sentences imposed was adequate to satisfy the articulation requirement. People v Lawson, 195 Mich App 76; 489 NW2d 147 (1992). Affirmed. /s/ Michael J. Kelly /s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald /s/ Michael G. Harrison * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
