Docket No. CR95-470531.

M. Donald Cardwell, Defense Counsel, for Petitioner

BY THE DIVISION Following a bench trial the petitioner was convicted of kidnapping, 1^st degree (§ 53a-92(a)(2)(a); sexual assault, 1^st degree (§53a-70(a)(1); criminal attempt to commit sexual assault, 1^St degree (§ 53a-49(a)(2) and 53a-70(a).

He was sentenced to concurrent terms of 12 years on each count, to be served consecutively to a federal sentence of 120 months which he was serving at the time, for an effective sentence of 12 nature of the offenses this sentence cannot be found to be excessive or disproportionate. (Practice Book § 43-28). Nor do we find it to be disproportionately lenient under all the circumstances so that an increase is warranted.

We find the sentence to be within the parameters of the Sentencing Court's reasonable discretion and we affirm it.

Klaczak, Miano and Ianotti, J's, participated in this decision.
