v
Brian Jimenez, Defendant-Appellant.
Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Jody Ratner of counsel), for appellant.
Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Shannon Henderson of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Villegas, J. at plea; Raymond Bruce, J. at sentencing), rendered March 19, 2015, convicting defendant of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3 years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the sentence to a term of 2 years, with 1½ years' postrelease supervision, and otherwise affirmed.
We do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, and we find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
