PEOPLE v. CHAIRES

Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of rape in the second degree and was sentenced to six months in jail and five years' probation. Three months into his probation, he admitted to violating the terms of his probation and was reinstated to probation. Thereafter, a second violation of probation petition was filed against defendant. Following a hearing, he was found to have violated the terms of his probation and County Court resentenced him to a prison term of 2 to 6 years. Defendant challenges the sentence as harsh and excessive. Our review of the record reveals no abuse of discretion on the part of the court nor do we find extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v. Corpin, 269 A.D.2d 622, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 795).

Cardona, P.J., Peters, Spain, Rose and Kane, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
