Text: 120-day period in which to seek Superior Court review of the sentence commences on the date of this opinion should the defendant choose to file such a motion; therefore, the defendant's appeal on this issue is denied and dismissed without prejudice. Bettencourt, 723 A.2d at 1114. Nevertheless, even overlooking this procedural difficulty, review of the record further reveals that the trial justice did what he could to correct any inaccuracies in open court, and that he received no cooperation from the defense in the process. However, these alleged inaccuracies do not appear to be critical to the sentencing process. Under all the circumstances, we believe that the trial justice made the correct call in not relying upon the presentence report before passing sentence upon this defendant. For the foregoing reasons, the appeal is denied and dismissed. The judgment of conviction is affirmed and the papers are remanded to the Superior Court. Martinez's appeal from his sentence is denied without prejudice.
