Samuel E. Rieff, for appellant.
Nassau County District Attorney (Jason R. Richards and Michael K. Degree of counsel), for respondent.
PRESENT: THOMAS A. ADAMS, P.J., JERRY GARGUILO, ELIZABETH H. EMERSON, JJ
ORDERED that the sentence is affirmed.
On appeal, defendant seeks a modification of his sentence of 60 days in jail imposed upon his conviction, upon a jury verdict, of common-law driving while intoxicated ( Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 [3] ). It is well settled that sentencing is a matter committed to the sentencing court's discretion (see People v. Farrar , 52 NY2d 302, 305 [1981] ; see also People v. Suitte , 90 AD2d 80, 85 [1982] ). A review of the record indicates that defendant's sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see People v. Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 ), and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant a modification of the sentence (see People v. Hodges , 13 AD3d 979 [2004] ; People v. Dolphy , 257 AD2d 681 [1999] ).
Accordingly, the sentence is affirmed.
ADAMS, P.J., GARGUILO and EMERSON, JJ., concur.
