People v. Ayala

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 23, 2001
287 A.D.2d 371 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

October 23, 2001.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie Wittner, J. at hearing; Budd Goodman, J. at plea and sentence), rendered April 2, 1997, convicting defendant of robbery in the first degree and attempted robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 8 to 16 years and 2 to 4 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Hope Korenstein, for respondent.

Steven J. Miraglia, for defendant-appellant.

Before: Nardelli, J.P., Tom, Mazzarelli, Ellerin, Lerner, JJ.


Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. There is no basis upon which to disturb the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record (see, People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761). Evidence properly credited by the court established that defendant was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time he waived his rights and made a voluntary statement.

We perceive no basis for reduction of sentence.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
