Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided January 23, 2007
36 A.D.3d 518; 826 N.Y.S.2d 892
People v. Greene

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Gregory Carro, J.), rendered July 13, 2005, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of from 5 to 10 years, unanimously affirmed.

The sentencing court properly concluded that defendant had breached his plea agreement and forfeited his opportunity for a more lenient disposition. The agreement clearly provided that commission of a new crime would constitute a violation, even if defendant had already completed a drug treatment program (see People v Cataldo, 39 NY2d 578 [1976]).

*519We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur— Andrias, J.E, Sullivan, Williams, Gonzalez and Malone, JJ.
