289 A.D.2d 780 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

12918

December 20, 2001.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.), rendered January 19, 2001, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.

Jay L. Wilber, Public Defender, Binghamton, for appellant.

Gerald F. Mollen, District Attorney (Joann Rose Parry of counsel), Binghamton, for respondent.

Before: Crew III, J.P., Peters, Mugglin, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Defendant pleaded guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree in full satisfaction of the charges against him and was thereafter sentenced, as part of a negotiated plea agreement, to an indeterminate term of 2 to 6 years in prison. Defendant appeals, contending that his prison sentence is harsh and excessive. Our review of the record discloses no extraordinary circumstances warranting a modification of the sentence in the interest of justice (see, People v. Brooks, 283 A.D.2d 776, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 916; People v. Bagot, 262 A.D.2d 674, lv denied 93 N.Y.2d 1001). Accordingly, we decline to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.

Crew III, J.P., Peters, Mugglin, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
