OPINION

HEADNOTE

Appellate Review - Standard - Criminal Cases; Criminal Law and Procedure - Sentencing

A criminal sentence may be affirmed on appeal when a review of the record reveals that the sentence is appropriate. Malakai v. FSM, 1 FSM Intrm. 338, 338 (App. 1983).

PER CURIAM:

Without reaching the question of whether a part or all of a minimum sentence can be suspended, a review of the record reveals that the sentence is appropriate. It is therefore affirmed.
