People v. Majestic

270 A.D.2d 884, 705 N.Y.S.2d 922, 2000 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 3530

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: March 29, 2000
• Status: Published

Opinion

—Judgment unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed in accordance with the following Memorandum: County Court erred in imposing a 5% surcharge on the restitution ordered for funds expended for the purchase of controlled substances from defendant (see, Penal Law § 60.27 [9]). We therefore modify the judgment by vacating that surcharge. Contrary to defendant’s contention, the sentence is neither unduly harsh nor severe.
