On September 29,1997, the court found the defendant in violation of the conditions of his suspended sentence and the court now having been fully advised as to the facts of the case, it is the judgment of the court that defendant’s prior suspended sentence is hereby revoked and that the defendant be and he is hereby sentenced to a term of ten (10) years in the Montana State Prison at Deer Lodge, Montana. It is the recommendation of the court that the defendant be considered for placement in the pre-release program. It is also the recommendation of the court that as a condition of any parole or early release that the defendant pay all of the restitution as ordered in the Judgment done in open court on the 2nd day of December, 1996. It is also the recommendation of the court to the Department of Corrections that the defendant receive counseling as is appropriate, particularly, anger management counseling, while at the Montana State Prison. Due to the defendant’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of his suspended sentence while under the supervision of the Department *15of Probation and Parole, the Court finds that he is not entitled to receive, and shall not receive, credit for any elapsed time between the date of his conviction and the date of this Order, except that he shall receive credit from May 22, 1996, through December 12, 1996; from July 18,1997, through August 1,1997; from August 6, 1997, through date of sentencing, September 29,1997, for two hundred seventy-five (275) days jail time which he has previously served.

On February 19, 1998, the defendant’s application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court.

The defendant was present and proceeded Pro Se. The state was not represented.

Before hearing the application, the defendant was advised that the Sentence Review Division has the authority not only to reduce the sentence or affirm it, but also to increase it. The defendant was further advised that there is no appeal from a decision of the Sentence Review Division. The defendant acknowledged that he understood this and stated that he wished to proceed.

Rule 17 of the Rules of the Sentence Review Division provides: “The sentence imposed by the District Court is presumed correct, and the sentence will not be reduced or increased unless it is deemed clearly inadequate or excessive.” (Section 45-18-904(3), MCA.) The Division finds that the reasons advanced for modification are insufficient to hold that the sentence imposed by the District Court is inadequate or excessive.

After careful consideration, it is the unanimous decision of the Sentence Review Division that the sentence shall be affirmed.

The Sentence Review Board wishes to thank Joseph Todd Haubrich for representing himself in this matter.
