Opinion
December 10, 1992
Appeal from the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.).
Defendant contends on this appeal that the sentence he received of 3 1/2 to 7 years' imprisonment upon his conviction of the crime of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree is harsh and excessive. Given defendant's extensive criminal record and the fact that he was on parole after conviction of a violent felony offense when he was arrested for the instant offense, we find no basis to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v Gathers, 147 A.D.2d 734, 736, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 1015).
Weiss, P.J., Levine, Crew III, Mahoney and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
