    STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff, vs. JESSIE JAMES HIGAREDA, Defendant.
    DECISION
    No. DC-81-166
   The application of the above-named defendant for a review of the sentence of 30 years with 15 years suspended plus 5 years for weapon; dangerous imposed on October 1,1981, was fully heard and after a careful consideration of the entire matter it is decided that:

The sentence shall remain the same as originally imposed except the dangerous designation be changed to nondangerous.

DATED this 13th day of May, 1982.

The reasons for the amendment are as follows:

(1) The youth of the Defendant

(2) The essentially nonviolent characteristics of the individual

(3) The potential for rehabilitation treatment as a result of being designated as a nondangerous person.

We wish to thank Janice Whetstone of the Montana Defender Project for her assistance to the Defendant and to this Court.
