Opinion
April 14, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.).
There is no merit to defendant's argument that his plea was coerced, the court having accepted the plea only after it informed defendant of his various options and gave him ample opportunity to confer with counsel. Nor is there merit to defendant's argument that the sentence was harsh, given that he was charged with ten separate offenses and six separate sales of cocaine or heroin and that the 5-year minimum imposed is substantially less than the highest statutory minimum permissible under Penal Law § 70.00 (3).
