Cite as 2019 Ark. App. 377 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION IV No. CR-18-508

Opinion Delivered: September 18, 2019 RODERICK MONTGOMERY APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE DREW COUNTY V. CIRCUIT COURT [NO. 02CR-17-121] STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE HONORABLE SAM POPE, JUDGE AFFIRMED

RITA W. GRUBER, Chief Judge This is a companion case to Montgomery v. State, 2019 Ark. App 376 (case No. CR- 18-500) also handed down today.1 In the present case, Roderick Montgomery pleaded guilty in the Drew County Circuit Court to delivery of methamphetamine, a Class B felony; possession of a defaced firearm, a Class D felony; possession of a firearm by a felon while in the commission of a new offense, a Class B felony; and use of a communication device in the commission of a drug offense, a Class C felony. In the companion case occurring in Ashley County, appellant pleaded guilty to two counts of delivery of methamphetamine, Class C felonies, and one count of delivery of methamphetamine, a Class B felony. Both counties are located within the Tenth Judicial District.

It is back after rebriefing. See Montgomery v. State, 2019 Ark. App. 128.

With appellant’s consent, the court held one sentencing hearing for all seven convictions. In this case, the court entered a sentencing order in accordance with the jury’s verdict sentencing appellant to ten years’ imprisonment on the methamphetamine conviction; six years’ imprisonment on the defaced-firearm conviction; fifteen years’ imprisonment on the possession-of-a-firearm conviction; and three years’ imprisonment on the communication-device conviction. The sentences were to run consecutively except for the three-year sentence for use of a communication device. Appellant brings four points on appeal alleging errors in the sentencing hearing. Because these points are identical to the points raised in Montgomery v. State, 2019 Ark. App. ___, we affirm for the reasons set forth in that opinion, also handed down today.

Affirmed.
