People v. Walters

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 17, 1982
91 A.D.2d 843 (N.Y. App. Div. 1982)

Opinion

December 17, 1982

Appeal from the Orleans County Court, Miles, J.

Present — Simons, J.P., Hancock, Jr., Callahan, Doerr and Moule, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's sole argument on appeal is that the court, which sentenced her to one and one-third to four years for attempted criminal possession of a forged instrument following her violation of the probation to which she had been originally sentenced on that charge, should have reduced her sentence by the amount of jail time served with respect to that charge prior to probation (see Penal Law, § 70.30, subd 3). The reduction she seeks is based on a credit to be applied in satisfaction of the sentence, not on any claimed impropriety in the sentence itself, and thus is reviewable by CPLR article 78 proceeding, not by appeal from the judgment (see People v Nyemchek, 67 A.D.2d 735; People v Pugh, 51 A.D.2d 1047; see, also, Matter of Kalamis v Smith, 42 N.Y.2d 191).
