Robert M. O'Leary, Public Defender (William L. Brown of counsel), Binghamton, for appellant.

Before: Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Spain, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Upon her plea of guilty of the crime of scheme to defraud in the first degree, defendant was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay restitution. Less than one month later, a violation of probation report was filed alleging that defendant had been charged with a number of new crimes. Defendant entered a plea of guilty of violating a condition of her probation and she was ultimately sentenced to an indeterminate prison term of 1 to 4 years. Although defendant challenges the sentence as being unduly harsh and excessive, our review of the record reveals neither an abuse of discretion on the part of County Court nor any extraordinary circumstances warranting our intervention (see,People v. Corpin, 269 A.D.2d 622, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 795). Defendant has a substantial history of criminal conduct and an inability to abide by the conditions of probation. Her belated claim of mental illness and addiction is unsupported by the record despite the opportunity to substantiate the claim afforded by the court.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
