Opinion
No. 2121 5050/04.
November 27, 2007.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Brenda Soloff, J.), rendered January 25, 2005, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 2 to 4 years, unanimously affirmed.
Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Joanne Legano Ross of counsel), for appellant.
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Ameer Benno of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Lippman, P.J., Friedman, Sullivan, Gonzalez and Catterson, JJ.
The court properly denied defendant's request to enter a comprehensive alcohol and substance abuse treatment program ( see Penal Law § 60.04), since he committed the instant crime while on work release from another drug-related sentence. The record fails to support defendant's assertion that the court did not exercise any discretion.
