Description
The defendant, Juan Batista Martinez, seeks appellate review of the propriety of the sentences imposed upon him by the Huerfano County district court based upon his jury trial convictions for second-degree burglary, section 18-4-203(1), C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8), and misdemeanor theft of property having a value less than fifty dollars, section 18-4-401(2)(a), C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8). He challenges as excessive the concurrent sentences of twenty-one years and seven months to twehty-five years for burglary and six months for theft. He also argues that he is entitled to be resentenced under the provisions of House Bill 1589, 1977 Colo. Sess. Laws ch. 216, 18-1-105 at 867. We find that the lengthy sentence for burglary is not adequately supported by the record and so vacate the sentences and remand this matter to the trial court for further proceedings.
