In this case we review an order of the district court denying appellant’s motion for reduction of sentence. We affirm.
Appellant, Terry Peper, was convicted of escape from official detention. He appealed that conviction and the judgment and sentence of the district court was affirmed on January 26, 1989.
Peper v. State,
Peper’s motion for reduction of sentence is, necessarily, brought to the courts pursuant to W.R.Cr.P. 36. Although Peper did not file a brief in this court
1
, it is readily apparent from the record on appeal that the only issue that could be raised in this appeal is the district court’s denial of his Rule 36 motion. Our precedents are well established that such a motion is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court and the court’s decision is accorded considerable deference here.
Peterson v. State,
Therefore, the order of the district court denying Peper’s motion for reduction of sentence is affirmed.
Notes
. Appellant’s brief was due in this court not later than June 5, 1989.
