People v. Rueffer

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Apr 15, 1993
192 A.D.2d 788 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

April 15, 1993

Appeal from the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.).


Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that his sentence of 5 to 10 years' imprisonment was harsh and excessive. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty to one count of burglary in the second degree in full satisfaction of a seven-count indictment. Further, defendant pleaded guilty knowing that he would be sentenced as a second felony offender to the term of imprisonment ultimately imposed by County Court, which is less than the harshest possible sentence. Given these facts, as well as defendant's criminal record, we find no basis upon which to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v Gonzalez, 178 A.D.2d 850, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 948; People v Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899).

Weiss, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Levine and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
