17 MEMORANDUM OPINION
18 VANZI, Judge.
1 {1} Defendant appeals from a district court order revoking his probation and re-
2 sentencing him. We issued a calendar notice proposing to affirm. Defendant has
3 responded with a memorandum in opposition. We affirm.
4 {2} Defendant continues to challenge the district court sentence, which was
5 imposed after Defendant did not contest that he violated probation. Sentences are
6 reviewed for an abuse of discretion, and there is no abuse of discretion where the
7 sentence imposed is one that is authorized by law. See State v. Cumpton, 2000-
8 NMCA-033, ¶ 10, 129 N.M. 47, 1 P.3d 429.
9 {3} Defendant has abandoned issue B. [MIO 3] See State v. Johnson, 1988-NMCA-
10 029, ¶ 8, 107 N.M. 356, 758 P.2d 306. We do not address this argument further,
11 except to note that we remain persuaded that summary affirmance is appropriate based
12 on the analysis in our notice.
13 {4} Defendant has continued to argue that the district court relied on
14 misinformation and denied him the opportunity to correct the error. Specifically,
15 Defendant claims that the judge stated, “He has already killed one person” as the
16 judge walked away from the bench. [MIO 3] It does not appear that this comment is
17 part of the record and therefore is not subject to review on appeal. See In re Aaron L.,
18 2000-NMCA-024, ¶ 27, 128 N.M. 641, 996 P.2d 431. In addition, Defendant did not
19 include any alleged correction in his motion for reconsideration, which was denied by
2
1 the district court. [RP 129, 131] Accordingly, we affirm the district court judgment
2 and sentence.
3 {5} IT IS SO ORDERED.
