People v. Bethea

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 12, 1994
207 A.D.2d 793 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

September 12, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.


On appeal, the defendant argues that the court's imposition of a "victim witness fee" and a "penalty assessment" exceeded the bounds of the plea bargain to which she had agreed. However the defendant did not seek to withdraw her plea at the time that the supposedly enhanced sentence was pronounced, and she has not otherwise preserved this argument for appellate review as a matter of law (see, People v. Lanterman, 194 A.D.2d 630; People v Alvarado, 160 A.D.2d 1012; People v. Ifill, 108 A.D.2d 202). Given the nature of this argument, and under all the other circumstances present, review in the interest of justice is not warranted (cf., People v. Pinaud, 132 A.D.2d 580). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Copertino, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
