In addition, the defendant is sentenced to the Montana State Prison for a period of twenty (20) years, with five (5) years suspended, for persistent felony offender status. The sentences imposed for Counts I, II, III, IV and V shall run concurrently with each other and concurrently with the sentences imposed for Count VI and for the persistent felony offender status. The sentence imposed for persistent felony offender status shall run consecutively to the sentence imposed for Count VI.

On May 16, 2005, the defendant’s application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court.

The defendant was present and was represented by Jon Moog. The state was not represented.

The Defendant having been duly informed of the amended judgment and commitment, and having waived his right to appear before the undersigned for this pronouncement of sentence, whereupon,

IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the following conditions be amended to provide a more precise definition of the condition: Condition #9: The defendant shall at no time, while on supervision, have a telephone listed to him or by him or any other person without permission of the supervising officer; and Condition #10: The defendant shall inform any women with whom he has an intimate relationship with in the future, of his past criminal history. The Division also finds the fines in Count V of $1,000 and Count VI of $10,000 excessive and therefore modifies the fines as follows: CountV: The Defendant shall be fined $1,000, all suspended, and shall pay the mandatory surcharges of $30; and Count VI: The Defendant shall be fined $10,000, all suspended, and shall pay the mandatory surcharges of $35.
