People v Ramirez

People v Ramirez 2007 NY Slip Op 10184 [46 AD3d 844] December 18, 2007 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, February 13, 2008

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Miguel Ramirez, Appellant.

—[*1] James D. Licata, New City, N.Y. (Lois Cappelletti of counsel), for appellant.

Michael E. Bongiorno, District Attorney, New City, N.Y. (Argiro Kosmetatos of counsel; Shayna Desai on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County (Kelly, J.), rendered June 7, 2006, convicting him of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant pleaded guilty with the understanding that he would receive the sentence which was thereafter actually imposed. Therefore, he has no basis now to complain that the sentence was excessive (see People v Kazepis, 101 AD2d 816 [1984]). Crane, J.P., Ritter, Fisher, Covello and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
