State v. Puga

WALTERS, Chief Judge.

Angel Puga was convicted of vehicular manslaughter. He received a seven-year fixed sentence. On appeal, Puga argues that a fixed period of confinement without treatment for his chronic alcoholism violates his statutory and constitutional rights. He contends that probation with treatment should have been ordered; or that an indeterminate period of confinement with provision for treatment and rehabilitation was appropriate. We hold that Puga’s rights were not violated and that the trial judge did not abuse his sentencing discretion. We affirm the judgment and sentence.
