People v. Wilson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Nov 10, 1994
209 A.D.2d 792 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

November 10, 1994

Appeal from the County Court of Montgomery County (Aison, J.).


Defendant argues that the prison sentence he received of 5 to 15 years was harsh and excessive. Initially, in reviewing the record in this case, we find that defendant failed to preserve this argument for review when he agreed to waive his right to appeal. In any event we reject this argument. In so doing, we note that defendant was allowed to plead guilty to one count of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree in full satisfaction of a 12-count indictment, pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence imposed and was not given the harshest possible sentence. We therefore find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.

Mikoll, J.P., Crew III, Casey and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
