Defendant shall not be eligible for parole until he has completed Phases I and II of the Sexual Offender Treatment Program. Defendant’s parole shall be conditioned upon conditions as stated in the April 8,1996 judgment.
On August 22, 1996, the Defendant’s application for review of that sentence was heard by the Sentence Review Division of the Montana Supreme Court.
The Defendant was present and proceeded Pro Se. The state was not represented.
Before hearing the application, the Defendant was advised that the Sentence Review Division has the authority not only to reduce the sentence or affirm it, but also to increase it.
