PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
UNPUBLISHED

Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 229063
Oakland Circuit Court
LC No. 98-161192-FH
VIRGINIA LEEANN TINSMAN,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Talbot, P.J., and Sawyer and F.L. Borchard*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant appeals by delayed leave granted from plea-based convictions of forgery, MCL
750.248; MSA 28.445, and uttering and publishing, MCL 750.249; MSA 28.446, for which she
was sentenced as an habitual offender, fourth offense, MCL 769.12; MSA 28.1084, to concurrent
prison terms of three and one-half to twenty years. We affirm. This appeal is being decided
without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
Defendant’s sole issue on appeal is that the case should be remanded for deletion of
inaccurate information contained in the victim’s impact statement in the presentence information
report. Because defendant could reasonably have discovered the alleged inaccuracy before she
was sentenced and did not raise the issue at sentencing, the issue has not been preserved. MCR
6.429(C); People v Sharp, 192 Mich App 501, 504; 481 NW2d 773 (1992). Assuming without
deciding that the report contained an inaccurate statement, the defendant has not shown that the
error deprived her of any substantial right. People v Carines, 460 Mich 750, 763, 764; 597
NW2d 130 (1999). We therefore decline to remand for correction of the report. People v
McCrady, 244 Mich App 27, 32; __ NW2d __ (2000).
Affirmed.
