GILBERTSON, Chief Justice.

[¶ 1.] After Damien Garber (Garber) pleaded guilty to Possession of a Controlled Substance in violation of SDCL, 22-42-5, he was sentenced to ten years in the South Dakota State Penitentiary. On appeal, Garber raises the following issues: (1) whether the right to remain silent extends through sentencing; (2) whether his sentence was grossly disproportionate; (3) whether he should be re-sentenced by a different judge; and (4) whether his attorney’s failure to advise him to remain silent during sentencing amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
