People v. Bruce

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 11, 1993
190 A.D.2d 907 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 11, 1993

Appeal from the County Court of Montgomery County (Aison, J.).


Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the 7 to 14-year prison sentence he received is harsh and excessive. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree in full satisfaction of a six-count indictment and another pending five-count indictment, as well as any other charges pending against defendant in Montgomery County. In addition, defendant pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed, which is less than the harshest possible sentence. Given these facts, as well as defendant's criminal record, we find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899; People v Du Bray, 76 A.D.2d 976).

Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Mercure, Crew III and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
