People v. Joseph

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 12, 1989
151 A.D.2d 610 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

June 12, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by providing that the terms of imprisonment imposed shall run concurrently to each other; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.

Under the circumstances of this case, the sentencing court abused its discretion in imposing consecutive terms of imprisonment and we modify the judgment of conviction accordingly.

The remaining issues raised in the defendant's main brief have not been preserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05) and, under the circumstances of this case, do not warrant reversal in the interest of justice. We have considered the contentions raised in the defendant's supplemental submission and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Brown and Harwood, JJ., concur.
