Opinion
December 21, 1995
Appeal from the County Court of Chemung County (Danaher, Jr., J.).
Defendant, a prison inmate, was found in possession of a sharp plastic object. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of the crime of promoting prison contraband in the first degree and sentenced as a second felony offender to a term of 3 1/2 to 7 years in prison. Although defendant asserts that his sentence is harsh and excessive, we find that imposition of the harshest sentence is appropriate given defendant's lengthy criminal record. Accordingly, we decline to disturb County Court's judgment.
Crew III, J.P., White, Casey, Yesawich Jr. and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
