People v. Veloz (Edward)
Opinion
against
Edward Veloz, Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Steven J. Hornstein, J.), rendered July 29, 2016, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of aggravated driving while intoxicated per se, and sentencing him, inter alia, to a fine of $1,000.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Steven J. Hornstein, J.), rendered July 29, 2016, affirmed.
We are unpersuaded that the bargained-for sentence imposed upon defendant's conviction for aggravated driving while intoxicated per se (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192[2-a][a]), including the payment of a $1,000 fine, was unduly harsh or severe, and find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v Fair, 33 AD3d 558 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007]). The defendant was sentenced in accordance with his bargained-for plea and should not now "be heard to complain that he received what he bargained for" (id. at 558, quoting People v Chambers, 123 AD2d 270, 270 [1986]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
