Respondent, v Rafael A. Solano, Appellant. |
—[*1]
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Heather A. Ryan of counsel), for
respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Dolan, J.), rendered June 9, 2005, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the sentence imposed, a determinate term of imprisonment of eight years, was within the range authorized by the applicable statute (see Penal Law § 70.71 [3] [b] [ii]), and therefore was not illegal.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Fisher, J.P., Miller, McCarthy and Chambers, JJ., concur.
