PEOPLE v. RIVERA (2024)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Raymond RIVERA, Defendant–Appellant.

1422

Decided: January 16, 2024

Moulton, J.P., Kapnick, Scarpulla, Higgitt, O'Neill Levy, JJ.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Nathan R. Brown of counsel), for appellant. Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Alex King of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Steven M. Statsinger, J.), rendered July 25, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree and robbery in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of four years, followed by five years of postrelease supervision, on the second degree count, and to time served on the third degree count, unanimously affirmed.

Upon consideration of defendant's arguments in support of his request for a sentence reduction in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15[6][b]), we perceive no basis for reducing the five-year term of postrelease supervision.
