Scott v. State

Martin F. Scott, appellant, asserts that the Circuit Court for Baltimore City improperly denied his Motion To Correct An Illegal Sentence And For Reduction Of Sentence. He presents two questions for our review:

I. Did the motion court abuse its discretion in failing to make its own determination on the merits regarding whether appellant’s sentence was illegal?

II. Did the motion court err in accepting the post-conviction court’s determination regarding whether Md. Rule 4-345(d) was violated?

Finding no error, we affirm the judgment.
