Annotate this Case
People v Prude 2009 NY Slip Op 04089 [62 AD3d 914] May 19, 2009 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, July 1, 2009

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Sequan Prude, Appellant.

—[*1] Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Amy Appelbaum of counsel; Katherine M. Rudish on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Reichbach, J.), rendered October 3, 2006, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant pleaded guilty with the full understanding that he would receive the sentence actually imposed and, therefore, he has "no basis now to complain that his sentence was excessive" (People v Kazepis, 101 AD2d 816, 817 [1984]; see People v Ubiles, 59 AD3d 572 [2009]; People v Grigg, 53 AD3d 629, 630 [2008]). In any event, under the circumstances, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Spolzino, J.P., Santucci, Angiolillo, Leventhal and Lott, JJ., concur.
