PEOPLE v. CARRASQUILLO

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Oct 7, 2003

Defendant was properly sentenced to a prison term where he failed to comply with the terms of the initial plea agreement providing for substitution of a misdemeanor plea and a sentence of time served upon successful completion of a drug program. It is clear that, as a result of his continued drug use, defendant failed to complete the program (see People v. Battle, 287 A.D.2d 361, lv denied 97 N.Y.2d 751), and the court properly exercised its discretion in declining to afford defendant another opportunity to enter a program. We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining arguments.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
