People v. Taylor

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Brown, J.), rendered April 18, 2005, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
