DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Peter M. Forman, J.), rendered November 29, 2016, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80). Moreover, the sentencing court providently exercised its discretion in declining to direct the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to enroll the defendant in the shock incarceration program (see Penal Law § 60.04[7][a]; Correction Law art 26-A), or that his sentence be executed as a sentence of parole supervision pursuant to CPL 410.91.
