STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff, vs. TARROW DUANE JONES, Defendant.
    NO. 9267
    DECISION
   On October 30, 1990, the Defendant was sentenced to Count n, twenty (20) years with ten (10) years suspended for Attempted Sexual Intercourse Without Consent; Count III, six (6) months in the Missoula County Jail for Sexual Assault, a misdemeanor; Count IV, twenty (20) years with ten (10) years suspended for Sexual Intercourse Without Consent; Count V, six (6) months in the Missoula County Jail for Assault, a misdemeanor; Count VII, six (6) months in the Missoula County Jail for Sexual Assault, a misdemeanor; all sentences are to be served concurrently. The defendant shall not be eligible for parole until he completes both Phase I and Phase II of the Prison Sex Offender Program.

On September 25,1992, 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 represented himself. The state was not represented.

Before hearing the application, the Defendant was advised that the Sentence Review Division is here to consider the sentence which was imposed by Judge John Henson. This board has the authority to increase the sentence, to leave it as is, or to reduce it. In the event that the Board would decide the alternative to increase the sentence, the proceedings will be stayed, an attorney would be appointed, and the proceedings would be rescheduled for a later date. In the event that the Board determines the sentence will remain as is or reduce it, the Board will go ahead with that decision. The defendant acknowledged that he understood this and stated that he did not wish to proceed but wanted his case dismissed.

DATED this 25th day of September, 1992.

After careful consideration, it is the unanimous decision of the Sentence Review Division that the petition for Sentence Review shall be dismissed with prejudice.

Hon. Ed McLean, Chairman, Hon. Thomas M. McKittrick, and Hon. G. Todd Baugh, Judges.
