Opinion
May 4, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Delin, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Under the circumstances of this case, the imposed sentence of five years to life imprisonment did not constitute an abuse of the sentencing court's discretion (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). The court made no promises to the defendant as to the length of the sentence it would impose, and the defendant acknowledged prior to pleading guilty that he was aware that the maximum sentence which could be imposed was 8 1/3 years to life imprisonment.
We have considered the contentions raised in the defendant's pro se brief and find them to be either unpreserved for our review or without merit. Mollen, P.J., Brown, Weinstein, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
