151 A.D.2d 509 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

June 5, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Floyd, J.).


Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

We find no merit to the defendant's contention that her sentence of an indeterminate term of three years' to life imprisonment, the statutory minimum term for a conviction of a class A-II felony offense (Penal Law § 70.00, [3] [a] [ii]), constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of constitutional limitations (NY Const, art I, § 5; US Const 8th Amend; People v. Jones, 39 N.Y.2d 694; People v. Broadie, 37 N.Y.2d 100, cert denied 423 U.S. 950). Thompson, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber, Spatt and Balletta, JJ., concur.
