v
Jason Fulton, Defendant-Appellant.
Richard M. Greenberg, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Leila N. Tabbaa of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Dana Poole of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Juan M. Merchan, J.), rendered March 15, 2013, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to a term of five years, with three years' postrelease supervision, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the prison term to 3½ years, and otherwise affirmed.
Defendant's appeal waiver did not encompass the issue of the severity of a potential enhanced sentence. We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: JANUARY 6, 2015
