People v. Castro

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

178 A.D.2d 681 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

December 5, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Albany County (Harris, J.).


We reject defendant's contention that the prison sentence he received as a second felony offender of 2 to 4 years was harsh and excessive. The crime he pleaded guilty to was a class D felony while the crime he was originally indicted for was a class B felony. Furthermore, the sentence was the most lenient sentence defendant could have received (see, Penal Law § 70.06 [d]; [4]) and was in accordance with the plea bargain. Under these circumstances, we find no abuse of discretion by County Court in imposing sentence (see, People v Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899; People v Gray, 131 A.D.2d 590).

Casey, J.P., Weiss, Levine, Mercure and Crew III, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
