State v. Green, Unpublished Decision (7-3-2003)
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
{¶ 1} Nyteria Green appeals from her conviction and sentence in the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on one count of forgery in violation of R.C. §{¶ 2} Green entered a guilty plea to the foregoing charge, and the trial court sentenced her to six months in prison. She then filed a timely appeal. In her sole assignment of error, she contends the trial court erred in imposing an excessively harsh sentence. In support, Green argues only that some of the "seriousness and recidivism" factors set forth in R.C. §
{¶ 3} Upon review, we find no merit in Green's argument that the trial court imposed an excessively harsh sentence. Her six-month term of incarceration was the minimum possible for a fifth-degree felony. R.C. §
{¶ 4} Finally, Green's argument about the "seriousness and recidivism" factors is unpersuasive. Even if some of the factors do weigh in Green's favor, several of them do not. Most notably, the trial court found that Green displayed "absolutely no remorse," that she had a prior felony conviction, and that she was on active community control. Although Green would prefer a different weighing of the relevant factors, we find no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court. Accordingly, we overrule Green's assignment of error and affirm the judgment of the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
Judgment affirmed.
