From: The District Court of the Eleventh Judicial District, County of Flathead.
    STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff, vs. BRUCE MICHAEL SIEFKE, Defendant.
    No. DC-82-034
   DECISION

The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of 20 years imposed on September 30, 1982, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that:

The sentence be amended to 10 years with 7 years suspended, and the Defendant shall be designated as nondangerous.

The reasons for the amendment are to make this Defendant’s sentence consistent with the reduction of sentence which was given to the Co-Defendant, Gordon Turcott. This Board was also influenced by a letter from Jerold Devich, Parole Officer, who indicated he felt the sentence was excessive and recommended a reduction.

DATED this 18th day of January, 1983.

JUDGE SULLIVAN

DISSENTS: The facts of this Defendant are different from that of the Co-Defendant. The juvenile he sold drugs to was only 14 years of age. His recommendation for sentence is 10 years.

We wish to thank Mr. Pat Sherlock, Attorney at Law, for his assistance to the Defendant and to this Court.
