OPINION OF THE COURT
MEMORANDUM.The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs. On the record before us, there is no reason to disturb the determination of the Appellate Division that petitioner was not entitled to the relief sought (see Penal Law §§ 70.45[5][d] ; 70.40[3][c] ). As petitioner concedes, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision was not bound by the New Jersey sentencing court's recommendation (see Jake v. Herschberger, 173 F.3d 1059, 1065 [7th Cir.1999] ; Breeden v. New Jersey Dept. of Corrections, 132 N.J. 457, 465, 625 A.2d 1125, 1129 [1993] ).
Chief Judge DiFiore and Judges Rivera, Stein, Fahey, Garcia, Wilson and Feinman concur.
Order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
