G. Leyva appeals the ten-year sentence on his conviction for kidnaping on the
ground that the trial court erred in not ordering a pre-sentence investigation
report to determine the appropriateness of a drug or alcohol treatment program
prior to sentencing.[1]

However, because
Leyva signed a written waiver of any right to have such a report prepared and
failed to object to the absence of the report, his sole issue presents nothing
for our review.  Accordingly, it is
overruled, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
