PEOPLE v. SANTO (2005)

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

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Miguel SANTO, also known as Jose Pena, Defendant-Appellant.

Decided: October 11, 2005

TOM, J.P., MARLOW, ELLERIN, WILLIAMS, McGUIRE, JJ.

Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Robert S. Dean of counsel), for appellant. Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Dana Poole of counsel), for respondent.

Judgments, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert I. Altman, J.), rendered December 4, 2003, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of bail jumping in the second degree and criminal contempt in the second degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 1 to 3 years, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of reducing the sentence for the bail jumping conviction to 1 year, and otherwise affirmed.

We reduce the sentence for the bail jumping conviction in order to effectuate the intent of the parties and court, as expressed at the time of the plea. The People do not oppose that reduction. We perceive no basis for otherwise reducing the sentences.
