The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Lameek JONES, appellant.

2023-08967

Decided: June 25, 2025

FRANCESCA E. CONNOLLY, J.P., PAUL WOOTEN, LILLIAN WAN, DONNA–MARIE E. GOLIA, JJ.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (David P. Greenberg of counsel; Maritza Medina Olazaran on the memorandum), for appellant. Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Marie John of counsel; Jordan Najah on the memorandum), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Phyllis Chu, J.), imposed September 25, 2023, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic.

Inasmuch as the defendant has completed the imposed sentence, the defendant's contention that the sentence was excessive has been rendered academic (see People v. Davis, 205 AD3d 731, 731–732; People v. Sofo, 202 AD3d 1004, 1005). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

CONNOLLY, J.P., WOOTEN, WAN and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
