People v. Jones

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jun 24, 1993
194 A.D.2d 999 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

June 24, 1993

Appeal from the County Court of Ulster County (Vogt, J.).


Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the sentence of four years to life imprisonment that he received upon his guilty plea is harsh and excessive. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty to one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree in satisfaction of an 11-count indictment against him. In addition, defendant pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed by County Court, which was much less than the harshest possible sentence. Under these circumstances, we find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v. Bowman, 168 A.D.2d 754; People v. Dean, 155 A.D.2d 774, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 812).

Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Levine and Crew III, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
