People v. Copeland

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 13, 1990
168 A.D.2d 753 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 13, 1990

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


Defendant's sentence of concurrent prison terms of 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 years upon her conviction of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree was part of the plea-bargain agreement made with defendant. The sentence was well within the statutory guidelines and another more serious charge was dropped as a result of the plea agreement. Under these circumstances, defendant's admission that she is addicted to cocaine fails to demonstrate either extraordinary circumstances or an abuse of discretion by County Court warranting a reduction of her sentence (see, People v. Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899).

Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Kane, Casey, Weiss and Mercure, JJ., concur.
