People v. Cuesta

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 2, 1985
111 A.D.2d 10 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

May 2, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County, Altman, J., Shorter, J.


As the District Attorney acknowledges, the court sentenced the defendant to a term of 2 to 4 years for bail jumping in the first degree on the mistaken view that the original promise of a sentence of 1 1/2 to 3 years was illegal, the court mistakenly believing that bail jumping in the first degree was a violent felony.

Accordingly, the sentence is modified to reflect that which was originally promised to the defendant. We have considered the other issues raised on this appeal and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Sandler, J.P., Ross, Asch, Milonas and Rosenberger, JJ.
