People v. Simmons

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 23, 1994
205 A.D.2d 432 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

June 23, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County, Richard Lowe, III, J.


The sentence imposed on each of the second degree robbery convictions, a class C felony, was illegal to the extent it exceeds 5 to 15 years (see, Penal Law § 70.02 [b]; [3] [b]; [4]). Since it is clear from the plea minutes that the court did not intend to have the sentences run consecutively, a remand for clarification is unnecessary (see, People v. Wilkerson, 121 A.D.2d 284). We, therefore, reduce the sentences to the maximum permitted by statute.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Wallach, Williams and Tom, JJ.
