People v. Bickham

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Mar 7, 1991
171 A.D.2d 903 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

March 7, 1991

Appeal from the County Court of Sullivan County (Hanofee, J.).


We reject defendant's contention that the prison sentence imposed by County Court of 3 to 9 years was harsh and excessive. The sentence was in accordance with the plea bargain and was well within the statutory limits. Under the circumstances, his admission that he has a drug problem fails to demonstrate either extraordinary circumstances or an abuse of discretion by the court warranting a reduction in the sentence (see, People v Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899).

Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., Crew III, and Harvey, JJ., concur.
