PEOPLE v. GLOVER

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Sep 29, 1992

Defendant was promised a sentence of 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years contingent upon three conditions, one of which was that he appear for the sentencing on a date certain, and informed that if the conditions were not satisfied, he would receive a longer sentence. Defendant absconded and was given an enhanced sentence of 5 to 15 years in absentia.

In view of the nature of the crimes involved, and especially the fact that one of the indictments to which defendant pleaded was for a crime committed while on bail, we reject defendant's contention that the enhanced sentence is excessive (cf., People v Acosta, 180 A.D.2d 505, 510, lv denied 80 N.Y.2d 827; People v Feliciano, 135 A.D.2d 364).
