Trial Court Cause No. 882,411

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Reyes G. Leyva appeals the ten-year sentence on his conviction for kidnaping on the ground that the trial court erred in not ordering a pre-sentence investigation report to determine the appropriateness of a drug or alcohol treatment program prior to sentencing.^[1]

However, because Leyva signed a written waiver of any right to have such a report prepared and failed to object to the absence of the report, his sole issue presents nothing for our review.  Accordingly, it is overruled, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
