People v. Beam

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

127 A.D.2d 982 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

February 27, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Contiguglia, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously modified as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice and as modified affirmed, in accordance with the following memorandum: When defendant entered his plea of guilty, the court incorrectly advised him that it was empowered to impose a maximum sentence of 4 1/2 to 15 years. At the time of sentencing, the court imposed a term of 5 years to 15 years. Since defendant was led to believe that the maximum-minimum sentence which could be imposed was 4 1/2 years, we, in the interest of justice, reduce defendant's sentence to an indeterminate term of 4 1/2 to 13 1/2 years.
