From: The District Court of the Seventh Judicial District, County of Richland,
    STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff vs. JAMES GREGORY POULOS, Defendant.
    No. 1936
    DATED this 3rd day of April, 1987.
   DECISION

The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of 5 years for Custodial Interference plus credit for time served, imposed on August 25, 1986, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that: the sentence shall be amended to one (1) year in the Montana State Prison for Custodial Interference plus credit for time served.

Reasons for the Amendment are:

(1) The sentence imposed by sentencing judge is disproportionate to what the Co-Defendant received.

(2) This Court felt it should have been a County Jail Sentence in the first place.

We wish to thank Les Ocks of the Montana Defender Project for his assistance to the Defendant and to this Court.
