People v. Johnson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Apr 9, 1992
182 A.D.2d 922 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

April 9, 1992

Appeal from the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.).


On this appeal, defendant's only contention is that the requirement that he serve a five-year term of probation should be eliminated in the interest of justice. This probationary term, however, coupled with a sentence of six months in jail, was part of a negotiated plea agreement. Furthermore, the presentence report, which included a victim impact statement, recommended incarceration because defendant was viewed as a poor candidate for probation. Under these circumstances, we cannot say that a reduction in defendant's sentence is warranted (see, People v Dews, 169 A.D.2d 886, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 905; People v Richards, 158 A.D.2d 627, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 741).

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