DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his motion, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Danny K. Chun, J.), imposed January 31, 2024, sentencing him to a determinate term of imprisonment of nine years, to be followed by a period of postrelease supervision of five years, upon his conviction of assault in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.
ORDERED that the sentence is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the sentence imposed from a determinate term of imprisonment of nine years, to be followed by a period of postrelease supervision of five years, to a determinate term of imprisonment of seven years, to be followed by a period of postrelease supervision of five years; as so modified, the sentence is affirmed.
The sentence imposed was excessive to the extent indicated herein (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
DUFFY, J.P., CHAMBERS, DOWLING, LANDICINO and HOM, JJ., concur.
