Brian Woodbury, e i g h t e e n y e a r s of a g e , on January 21, 1972

He was r e l e a s e d on bond s u b j e c t t o t h e c o n d i t i o n s which he signed
on January 2 8 , 1972. O February 4 , 1972, t h e c a s e was s e t f o r

and e n t e r e d a g u i l t y p l e a , a t which time t h e s e n t e n c e now i n i s s u e
was imposed.
The f a c t s r e l a t i n g t o t h i s charge a r e : On January 15, 1972,
t h e B i l l i n g s P o l i c e Department received telephone c a l l s from two
p a r e n t s i n B i l l i n g s t o t h e e f f e c t t h a t they thought t h e i r daughters
had on t h e previous n i g h t taken some t y p e of drug. One of t h e

Hospital. It was subsequently a s c e r t a i n e d t h a t both g i r l s had
taken LSD, which had been put i n Kool-Aid. They s t a t e d they had
purchased t h e LSD from defendant. O being questioned by t h e
n
B i l l i n g s P o l i c e Department, defendant admitted t h e s a l e of t h e
LSD t o t h e two teen-age g i r l s and a l s o f u r n i s h e d t h e p o l i c e w i t h
t h r e e a d d i t i o n a l " h i t s " of LSD t h a t he had cached i n a snowbank
n e a r h i s house. This information was a v a i l a b l e t o t h e c o u r t a t
t h e time s e n t e n c e was pronounced. This defendant i s p r e s e n t l y
under charge of s i x felony counts f o r c r i m i n a l s a l e of dangerous
drugs which i n c l u d e s LSD, Marijuana , Crys t a 1-Ma t h and Heroin.
This charge a r o s e almost immediately a f t e r t h e c o n v i c t i o n h e r e ,

Upon t h e g u i l t y p l e a , t h e c o u r t s t a y e d t h e imposition of

added---that t h e defendant would s e r v e a term of t h i r t y days i n

The i s s u e h e r e involved i s whether t h e t r i a l c o u r t can
impose c o n d i t i o n s on a d e f e r r e d imposition of s e n t e n c e under t h e

Taken l i t e r a l l y , t h e foregoing quote i n t h e underlined

circumstances of t h e i n s t a n t c a s e , a s e n t e n c i n g judge would be
l i m i t e d t o t h e scope of a "deferred imposition of sentence".
The q u e s t i o n is: Does t h e concept of a "deferred imposition of
