Opinion
No. 2010-03775.
May 10, 2011.
Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Brennan, J.), imposed March 26, 2010, pursuant to CPL 440.46, upon his conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, which sentence was originally imposed, upon a jury verdict, on June 25, 1997.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Ellen Fried of counsel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Diane R. Eisner of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Prudenti, P.J., Angiolillo, Dickerson and Roman, JJ.
Ordered that the resentence is affirmed.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in resentencing the defendant to a determinate term of imprisonment of five years, with two years of postrelease supervision ( see People v Tutt, 82 AD3d 1273; People v Newton, 48 AD3d 115, 119-120). Under the circumstances of this case, the resentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Tutt, 82 AD3d 1273; People v Almanzar, 43 AD3d 825, 826; People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80, 85).
