After a lengthy sentencing hearing, at which defendant’s counsel argued the mitigating circumstances of the offense, the lower court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate prison term of one to fifteen years. U.C.A., 1953, § 76-3-203(2) (Supp. 1983). The record does not support the contention that defendant was precluded from presenting any evidence of mitigation to the sentencing judge. The court received and reviewed all materials submitted by defendant and his attorney. In every aspect, the conviction was proper and the sentence well within the discretion of the trial court. State v. Amicone, Utah, 689 P.2d 1341 (1984); State v. Clark, Utah, 632 P.2d 841, 844 (1981); State v. Gerrard, Utah, 584 P.2d 885 (1978).
Defendant’s conviction and sentence are affirmed.
