35 A.D.3d 957 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006)

Opinion

No. 15356.

December 14, 2006.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Broome County (Smith, J.), rendered July 24, 2003, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree.

David S. Berger, Binghamton, for appellant.

Gerald F. Mollen, District Attorney, Binghamton (Joann Rose Parry of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Cardona, P.J., Peters, Spain, Mugglin and Kane, JJ.


In satisfaction of a five-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree and was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement to a prison term of three years to life. We affirm his conviction. Defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel argument is unsupported by the record ( see People v Obert, 1 AD3d 631, 632). As County Court imposed the minimum sentence permitted at the time, such sentence cannot be considered harsh and excessive.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed
