People v. Williams

Apr 27, 2012
Versions:94 A.D.3d 1527
942 N.Y.S.2d 923

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree (Penal Law § 220.06 [5]). As defendant correctly concedes, he failed to preserve for our review his contention that a conflict of interest between the probation officer who prepared the presentence report and a police officer at the scene of the arrest required the preparation of a new presentence report and resentencing (see CPL 470.05 [2]). We decline to exercise our power to review that contention as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15 [6] [a]). The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. Present—Scudder, P.J., Fahey, Lindley and Martoche, JJ.
