People v. Melendez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 19, 1995
216 A.D.2d 493 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 19, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The contentions raised on appeal by the defendant are not preserved for appellate review because the defendant failed to object at sentencing, move to withdraw his pleas, or move to vacate the judgments of conviction (see, CPL 470.05; People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662). In any event, upon a review of the plea proceeding, we find that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered his pleas of guilty (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9).

The defendant may not now be heard to challenge the negotiated sentences which the court imposed (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Nevertheless, we find that the sentences are neither harsh nor excessive under the circumstances of this case (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
