OPINION FILED:_______________________________

AFFIRMED

Joe B. Jones, Presiding Judge OPINION

The appellant, Angie M. Harris (defendant), entered pleas of guilty to two counts of forgery, a Class E felony. The trial court, finding the defendant was a standard offender, imposed a Range I sentence consisting of a $500 fine and confinement for one (1) year in the Shelby County Correctional Center in each count pursuant to a plea agreement. The trial court suspended all but thirty days of the defendant’s sentence and placed her on probation for the balance of the sentence. The effective sentence imposed were fines totaling $1,000 and confinement for one (1) year. In this court, the defendant contends “the Trial Court erred in not granting the Defendant’s Petition for Suspended Sentence and in failing to grant the Defendant probation [pursuant] to the Tennessee Criminal Sentencing Reform Act of 1989.” After a thorough review of the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the law governing the issue presented for review, it is the opinion of this court that the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.

This court has conducted a de novo review of the record pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-35-401(d). When the trial court imposed sentence, the court said it considered the defendant’s social history, attitude, nature and circumstances of the offenses, and her candor in her testimony. The court found the defendant was less than candid. This finding alone justified the sentence imposed by the trial court. See State v. Neeley, 678 S.W.2d 48 (Tenn. 1984).
