The defendant, James Allen Gooch, Sr., a/k/a “Angie Foot,” appeals as of right from his conviction upon a guilty plea in the Sumner County Criminal Court for the sale of under one-half gram of cocaine, a Class C felony. The defendant was charged with two counts of selling less than one-half gram of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Pursuant to an agreement, the defendant entered a guilty plea to one count of selling less than one-half gram of cocaine, and the remaining charges were dismissed. The defendant was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to five years in the custody of the Department of Correction. The trial court also imposed a two-thousand-dollar fine. The defendant contends that the trial court erred by failing to consider a sentence other than confinement by the Department
of Correction. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
