Opinion
June 15, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Kuffner, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We reject the defendant's contention that he was denied his right to a speedy trial pursuant to CPL 30.30. After subtracting periods of delay directly resulting from the defendant's pretrial motions, delays resulting from the defendant's lack of counsel, the victim's hospitalization, and other proceedings involving the defendant, the total time chargeable to the People is well within the permitted six calendar months (see, CPL 30.30).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Sullivan, J.P., Harwood, Balletta and Eiber, JJ., concur.
