Opinion

May 10, 1999

Appeal from Judgment of Cayuga County Court, Corning, J. — Criminal Sale Controlled Substance, 5th Degree.

PRESENT: DENMAN, P. J., GREEN, HAYES, WISNER AND CALLAHAN, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention of defendant that, because he did not receive the same sentence as his codefendants, his sentence is unduly harsh or severe. Unlike his codefendants, defendant is a second felony offender with a lengthy criminal history. Contrary to defendant's contention, the prosecution complied with the plea agreement by recommending to County Court that defendant serve concurrent sentences for the two convictions. At the time of the plea, however, the court made no promises concerning sentencing ( see, People v. Medina, 177 A.D.2d 733; People v. Shock, 152 A.D.2d 821, 822, lv denied 74 N.Y.2d 852), and the court was not bound by the sentencing recommendation of the prosecution ( see, People v. Marks, 176 A.D.2d 636, 637).
