118 Mich. App. 71 | Mich. Ct. App. | 1982
Defendant pled guilty to delivery of a controlled substance, in violation of MCL 333.7401(1), (2)(b); MSA 14.15(7401X1), (2)(b). Defendant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 1-1/2 to 7 years and now appeals by right.
Defendant’s first issue on appeal is frivolous. At the plea, the trial judge advised defendant that the maximum possible prison sentence for the offense was seven years. GCR 1963, 785.7(l)(b) requires the court to tell defendant "the maximum possible prison sentence for the offense”; the trial court specifically complied with this requirement. We find no merit to defendant’s claim that the trial court’s use of the words "possible maximum sentence” implied that a lesser maximum sentence was also possible.
Defendant’s second issue on appeal is that a mistake of law occurred because the judge misunderstood his sentencing authority under the consecutive sentence statute. Defendant argues that there was no possibility of a consecutive sentence being imposed for this offense because at the time defendant committed the present felony she had not been charged with another crime.
The consecutive sentence statute, MCL 768.7b;
Affirmed.
