Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

51 A.D.3d 517 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

No. 3669.

May 15, 2008.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Gregory Carro, J.), rendered May 16, 2007, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of three years, unanimously affirmed.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Abigail Everett of counsel), and Chadbourne Parke LLP, New York, for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Dennis Rambaud of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Friedman, Buckley, Sweeny and Renwick, JJ.


The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record ( see People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761). The evidence established that an officer saw defendant obtain a handgun from another person.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
