APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The respondent concedes that the sentencing judge made a number of errors in principle in his reasoning. To be fair to him, his reasons were given before a number of decisions of this court on this subject. Nevertheless, he carefully considered the factors set out in s. 487.052(2), and, though we are not obliged to defer to his reasoning, we find it persuasive and see no basis on which we would interfere with the order he made.
2The appeal is dismissed.
