The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Robert Castro, Appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Harold V. Ferguson, Jr., of counsel; Joseph Messina on the memorandum), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Keith Dolan of counsel; Darci Siegel on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Deborah Dowling, J.), imposed October 31, 2019, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the portion of the sentence imposing a period of five years of probation was not excessive ( see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Duffy, J.P., Iannacci, Maltese and Genovesi, JJ., concur..
