The appeal was dismissed because the trial court's sentencing exercise was within principled bounds: the court properly identified comparable authorities to set starting points based on the quantities involved, lawfully adjusted the starting points upward for recent reoffending and recidivism, applied a one‑third reduction for the guilty pleas, and properly rejected the appellant's welfare‑delay argument on the factual record; therefore the concurrent terms of 7 and 4 months were not manifestly excessive.
