Opinion
April 9, 1998
Appeal from the County Court of Columbia County (Czajka, J.).
Defendant pleaded guilty to the crimes of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, two counts, and was sentenced to three concurrent prison terms of 1 to 3 years. On appeal, defendant argues only that the sentences were harsh and excessive. We disagree. Given defendant's lengthy criminal history, which includes a prior conviction for driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree, and the fact that defendant committed the crimes to which he pleaded guilty while under parole supervision, we find no reason to disturb the sentences imposed (see, e.g., People v. Empey, 242 A.D.2d 839, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 834; People v. Miller, 234 A.D.2d 804; People v. Holmes, 179 A.D.2d 837, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 1002).
Cardona, P.J., Yesawich Jr., Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
