Joyner v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 16, 2011No. A10A1851Published

1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Presiding Judge.

Christopher Joyner entered a negotiated guilty plea to the offense of child molestation (OCGA § 16-6-4 (a) (1)), and was sentenced under the First Offender Act, OCGA § 42-8-60 et seq., to ten years probation. Approximately five years later, Joyner filed a motion to correct the record, contending that the prior sentencing judge had issued an order that reduced his probation to five years, but the order had been lost and omitted from the record in the trial court. The trial court denied the motion, from which Joyner appeals. We discern no error and affirm.
