NETTESHEIM, J.
The issue on this appeal is whether a sentenced defendant who claims an abuse of sentencing discretion must bring a motion for modification of the sentence in the trial court as a prerequisite to an appeal brought pursuant to sec. 973.19, Stats. We hold that such a motion is required. Since a motion to modify the sentence was not presented to the sentencing court, and since there is no resultant final order, we dismiss Steven Meyer's appeal.
