People v Ward, 2023 NY Slip Op 04325 [219 AD3d 760]

August 16, 2023

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Corey Ward, Appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel; Russ Altman-Merino on the memorandum), for appellant.

Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill of counsel; Deanna Russo on the memorandum), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Toni M. Cimino, J.), rendered April 25, 2022, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon 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 sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant’s remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. Connolly, J.P., Chambers, Miller, Dowling and Taylor, JJ., concur..
