Description

In early September 1978, Gary Bradac, defendant-appellant drove an acquaintance's car without her permission to Fulton, Missouri. Bradac was arrested in Fulton for auto theft and was returned to Idaho to face the charge. He pled guilty to possession of a stolen motor vehicle and the Judge sentenced him to an indeterminate prison sentence not to exceed five years. Bradac appeals the length of his sentence, arguing that the district Judge should have left the sentence open for 120 days pending further psychiatric evaluation and allowing defendant the opportunity to begin treatment for alcoholism. Sentencing is within the discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed on appeal unless an abuse of discretion appears. E. g., State v. Dillon, 100 Idaho 723, 604 P.2d 737 (1980); State v. Cotton, 100 Idaho 573, 602 P.2d 71 (1979).
