Given the appellant's persistent heroin addiction, prior convictions and prior custodial sentences, and absence of new mitigating material, the magistrate was entitled to adopt a starting point of 12 months and reduce it by one-third for the guilty plea to impose an eight-month sentence; the appeal is dismissed and the sentence is confirmed.
