The People of the State of New York
v.
Clinton Parks
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Sep 14, 1992.
Published opinion
186 A.D.2d 158
Published

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the County Court, Suffolk County (Vaughn, J.), imposed September 25, 1990, upon his conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, the sentence being an indeterminate term of 8-16 to 25 years imprisonment.

Ordered that the sentence is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the term of imprisonment to 5 to 15 years; as so modified, the sentence is affirmed.

Under the circumstances of this case, we find the original sentence excessive to the extent indicated (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80). Mangano, P. J., Harwood, Rosenblatt, Ritter and Santucci, JJ., concur.
