People v. Harris

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 16, 1995
212 A.D.2d 918 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

February 16, 1995

Appeal from the County Court of Schenectady County (Harrigan, J.).


Defendant pleaded guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 to 6 years. On this appeal, defendant contends that County Court abused its discretion in imposing sentence. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty in satisfaction of a six-count indictment with the knowledge that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed, which is less than the harshest possible. Given these facts, as well as defendant's criminal record, we find no basis to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Casey, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
