People v. Woodson
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Leis, J.), rendered September 15, 1993, convicting him of sodomy in the first degree (two counts), rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There is no merit to the defendant’s contention that he was denied his constitutional and statutory right to a speedy trial (see, CPL 30.20, 30.30; People v Taranovich, 37 NY2d 442; People v Anderson, 66 NY2d 529).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
The defendant’s remaining contentions do not warrant reversal. Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
