    Court of Appeals
    Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
    No. 07-19-00088-CR
    SHUAIB SULAYMA HAKIM, APPELLANT
    V.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
    On Appeal from the 100th District Court
    Childress County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 5978, Honorable Stuart Messer, Presiding
    October 7, 2019
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PARKER, JJ.
    Appellant, Shuaib Sulayma Hakim, appeals his conviction for possessing
    marijuana. The adjudication of his guilt had initially been deferred, and he had been
    placed on community supervision. The State subsequently moved to adjudicate guilt after
    he allegedly violated several terms of his probation. At the hearing on the motion,
    appellant pled true to the allegations, resulting in the trial court’s decision to grant the
    motion, find him guilty of the offense, and sentence him to 20 months in a state jail facility.
    Through one issue, he now contends that the sentence was disproportionate to the gravity
    of the offense due to the purportedly growing acceptance of marijuana use. We overrule
    the issue.
    Complaints about a supposed disproportionate sentence must be preserved for
    review by a timely objection when sentenced or through a timely motion for new trial.
    Goley v. State, No. 07-18-00145-CR, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 6699, at *4-5 (Tex. App.—
    Amarillo Aug. 2, 2019, no pet. h.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Our perusal
    of the record uncovered neither. Thus, the issue before us is waived.
    We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
