Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Burke, J. — Criminal Possession Weapon, 2nd Degree.
PRESENT: PINE, J. P., WISNER, HURLBUTT AND BALIO, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum:
Contrary to the contention of defendant, the verdict is supported by legally sufficient evidence and is not contrary to the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). The sentence is neither unduly harsh nor severe. Defendant freely bargained for the maximum sentence upon his conviction of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree in satisfaction of pending charges of, inter alia, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree ( see, People v. Kohler, 147 A.D.2d 937, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 1017; see also, People v. Cotton, 219 A.D.2d 836, 837, lv denied 87 N.Y.2d 900).
