Syllabus

Appellant's aggregate sentence of ten years for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (\OVI\) with a repeat OVI offender specification was not contrary to law. The court properly considered the statutory guidelines and factors, and it did not err in considering information in the presentence investigation report that a petition for a protection order was pending against appellant. Appellant mischaracterizes the record in asserting that the court treated his alcoholism as \willful disobedience\; the trial court correctly noted appellant's numerous failed efforts at rehabilitation and his ongoing inability to control his alcohol consumption. Judgment affirmed.
