DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Dutchess County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), both rendered May 18, 2016, convicting him of robbery in the first degree under Indictment No. 91/15, and murder in the second degree under Indictment No. 96/15, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte , 90 AD2d 80).

RIVERA, J.P., MALTESE, IANNACCI and FORD, JJ., concur.
