People v. Zawko

251 A.D.2d 816 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 18, 1998

Appeal from the County Court of Chemung County (Castellino, J.).


Defendant pleaded guilty to the crimes of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree in satisfaction of two indictments and a pending misdemeanor charge. County Court sentenced defendant to concurrent prison terms of 2 to 6 years. We reject defendant's contention that the sentence imposed was harsh and excessive. When defendant entered her guilty plea, she did so knowing that the People would recommend the sentence which was ultimately imposed. In any event, the record reveals that the sentence was appropriate and we find no extraordinary circumstances to warrant a modification thereof ( see, People v. Douglas, 238 A.D.2d 632, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 857).

Cardona, P. J., White, Peters, Spain and Graffeo, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
