People v Ayende, 2017 NY Slip Op 01375 [147 AD3d 1075]

February 22, 2017

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Felix Ayende, Appellant.

Yasmin Daley Duncan, Brooklyn, NY, for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant from two resentences of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), both imposed December 10, 2015, upon his convictions of criminal contempt in the first degree (two counts) under Indictment No. 67/12, and robbery in the first degree under Indictment No. 135/12, upon his pleas of guilty.

Ordered that the resentences are affirmed.

Under the circumstances of this case, including the seriousness of the crimes, the County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant youthful offender treatment ( see CPL 720.20 [1]; People v Bae , 137 AD3d 804 [2016]; People v Almonte , 122 AD3d 870 [2014]). In addition, the resentences imposed were not excessive ( see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Dillon, J.P., Chambers, Sgroi, Maltese and Barros, JJ., concur..
