Opinion
May 13, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jeffrey Atlas, J.).
The court's Sandoval ruling, a compromise in which damaging portions of defendant's criminal record were excluded, was a proper exercise of discretion that balanced the appropriate factors (see, People v. Walker, 83 N.Y.2d 455, 459).
Contrary to defendant's contention, the sentencing minutes, taken together with the commitment sheet and other relevant documents, establish that the court sentenced defendant on both the sale and possession counts (see, CPL 380.20; People v. Jones, 207 A.D.2d 745, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 863).
