Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Tasad Messiah Kennerly, Appellant.

Thomas N.N. Angell, Poughkeepsie, NY (Jennifer Burton of counsel), for appellant.

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

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Peter M. Forman, J.), rendered March 7, 2019, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the County Court’s remarks at sentencing were not indicative of bias or reliance on personal opinion in imposing sentence ( see People v Ross , 172 AD3d 1243 , 1244 [2019]; People v Jin Zheng , 127 AD3d 890 , 891 [2015]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Duffy, J.P., Iannacci, Rivera and Wooten, JJ., concur..
