    (No. 7654)

    Glenn D. Ramirez, Klamath Falls, for appellant. With him on the brief were Ramirez & Hoots, Klamath Falls.
    Marcus K. Ward, District Attorney, Lakeview, for respondent.
    Before Schwab, Chief Judge, and Langtry and Thornton, Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Defendant was charged with criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor, in violation of ORS 164.255. lie pled guilty and was sentenced to the maximum punishment provided by ORS 161.615 and 161.635, i.e., one year in the county jail and $1,000 fine.

He appeals contending that the sentence is in excess of that provided by law.

ORS 137.010(5) expressly authorizes the imposition of both imprisonment and a fine.

The sentence imposed on defendant is within the limits prescribed by law. Defendant’s contention is without merit.

Affirmed.
