Lewis v. State

OPINION. RILEY, Judge.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Appellant-Defendant, Michael T. Lewis (Lewis), appeals the sentence imposed on him as an habitual offender under Ind. Code § 35-50-2-8.

We affirm.

ISSUES

Lewis raises one issue on appeal, which we restate as follows: whether the trial court abused its discretion by imposing an habitual offender enhancement of thirty years on Count I, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, a Class B felony, 1.C. § 85-47-2-28. Specifically, Lewis maintains that the enhancement was excessive given his twenty-year sentence on Count I.
