PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v JESSIE BRIDGES, Defendant-Appellant.

UNPUBLISHED October 1, 1996

No. 187773 LC No. 95-068333-FC

Before: J.H. Gillis, P.J., and G.S. Allen and J.B. Sullivan, JJ.* MEMORANDUM. Defendant pleaded guilty to armed robbery, MCL 750.529; MSA 28.797, and was sentenced to fifteen to twenty-five years' imprisonment. He appeals as of right. We affirm. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(A). The trial court properly scored Offense Variables 1, 6 and 13 of the sentencing guidelines because there is sufficient evidence in the record to support the scores. People v Elliott, 215 Mich App 259, 261-262; 544 NW2d 748 (1996); People v Randolph Warner, 190 Mich App 26, 27; 475 NW2d 397 (1991). Next, defendant's sentence, which is within the recommended range of the sentencing guidelines, does not violate the principle of proportionality. People v Milbourn, 435 Mich 630, 651; 461 NW2d 1 (1990); People v Broden, 428 Mich 343, 354-355; 408 NW2d 789 (1987); People v Williams (After Remand), 198 Mich App 537, 543; 499 NW2d 404 (1993). Affirmed. /s/ John H. Gillis /s/ Glenn S. Allen, Jr. /s/ Joseph B. Sullivan

*Former Court of Appeals judges, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment pursuant to Administrative Order 1996-3.
