DECISION & ORDER
Appeals by the defendant from (1) a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Peter M. Forman, J.), rendered January 24, 2019, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 196/18, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence, and (2) an amended judgment of the same court, also rendered January 24, 2019, revoking a sentence of probation previously imposed by the same court, upon a finding that he had violated a condition thereof, upon his admission, and imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon his previous conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 190/17.
ORDERED that the judgment and the amended judgment are affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the County Court, when imposing sentence, relied upon reliable information in the presentence report ( see People v. Haslow, 20 A.D.3d 680, 797 N.Y.S.2d 784 ). The sentences imposed were not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
RIVERA, J.P., HINDS–RADIX, CONNOLLY and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
