Appeal from a judgment of the Allegany County Court (Thomas E Brown, J.) rendered December 19, 2012. The judgment revoked defendant’s sentence of probation and imposed a sentence of imprisonment.

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

*1499Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment revoking the period of probation imposed upon her conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and sentencing her to a determinate term of imprisonment. Contrary to defendant’s contention, the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. Although defendant had no prior felony convictions, she had numerous misdemeanor convictions, and indeed the instant probationary sentence was to run concurrently with another term of probation imposed on one such misdemeanor. Furthermore, following this conviction involving the sale of drugs, defendant repeatedly violated the terms of her probationary sentence by using opiates and other illegal drugs, failed to complete drug programs and to comport with her Drug Court contract, abandoned her children with a relative, and absconded from supervision. Contrary to the dissent, we conclude that “the fact that . . . the codefendant[ ] received [a] lesser [sentence is not germane because] the circumstances surrounding the sentencing of [the codefendant] were different” (People v Purcell, 8 AD3d 821, 822 [2004]; see People v Versaggi, 296 AD2d 429, 430 [2002], lv denied 98 NY2d 714 [2002]; People v Davis, 203 AD2d 818, 818 [1994], lv denied 84 NY2d 824 [1994]).

(dissenting). We respectfully dissent inasmuch as we agree with defendant that the sentence of imprisonment imposed is unduly harsh and severe. Although defendant was convicted of a class B felony, her crime is a nonviolent one that arises from her sale of five morphine pills to a confidential informant for a total of $50. Defendant has a criminal history that, albeit lengthy, includes no prior felony convictions. We note that the record reflects that defendant’s former husband was a codefendant who was charged with the same crimes as defendant with respect to the drug transaction at issue but who received a much more lenient sentence than did defendant. Even considering defendant’s multiple failures to complete drug court treatment, we cannot conclude that what amounts to a sentence of five years of incarceration for the sale of five morphine pills is just under the circumstances of this case. We would therefore modify the judgment as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice by reducing the sentence of imprisonment to a determinate term of two years of incarceration, to be followed by the two years of postrelease supervision imposed by County Court.
