North Carolina v. Moore9/15/1992
pe, 257 N.C. 326, 335, 126 S.E.2d 126, 133 (1962)). The trial court imposed sentence as authorized by statute. We find no abuse of discretion or other reason to justify resentencing.
As to defendant's second contention regarding sentencing, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1343(a) (Cum. Supp. 1991) states: "The court may impose conditions of probation reasonably necessary to insure that the defendant will lead a law-abiding life or to assist him to do so." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1343(b1)(4) (Cum. Supp. 1991) permits the trial court to order a defendant to submit his license for a period of time specified by the court as a special condition of probation. Defendant was convicted of misdemeanor death by motor vehicle based upon violation of state traffic laws. Surrender of defendant's driver's license is a condition "directly related to and [growing] out of the offense for which was convicted and consistent with proper punishment for the crime." See State v. Simpson, 25 N.C. App. 176, 180, 212 S.E.2d 566, 569, cert. denied, 287 N.C. 263, 214 S.E.2d 436 (1975) (citations omitted). Defendant's argument is without merit.
Defendant's remaining assignment of error that the trial court erred in signing and entering the judgment has been completely addressed in our Discussion above.
For the reasons set forth above, we find
No error.
Judges EAGLES and ORR concur.
