People v. Allen

244 A.D.2d 265, 665 N.Y.S.2d 839, 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 11690

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Andrias, J.), rendered March 31, 1995, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 8 to 16 years, unanimously affirmed.

Considering the advantageous plea bargain negotiated by counsel and the record as a whole, we find that defendant received meaningful representation (People v Ford, 86 NY2d 397, 404). We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Williams, Mazzarelli and Colabella, JJ.
