SENTENCE IMPOSED AFTER FAILURE TO PAY RESTITUTION UNDULY HARSH AND SEVERE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined the sentence imposed based upon failure to pay restitution was harsh and excessive:

… [T]he sentence imposed by County Court is unduly harsh and severe. The sole basis for the declaration of delinquency was defendant’s failure to pay restitution to the victims of his crimes, and the declaration was filed approximately four months after defendant was placed on probation. Defendant admitted to the violation and, by the time of sentencing, he had paid $2,500 of the $17,775 he owed in restitution. The court nevertheless revoked probation and sentenced defendant to the maximum term of imprisonment for each offense with the sentences running consecutively, for an aggregate sentence of 3⅓ to 10 years.

Inasmuch as defendant’s crimes are nonviolent and he had no prior criminal record aside from a misdemeanor charge to which he pleaded guilty the day before his plea in this case, we modify the judgment as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice by directing that the sentences run concurrently, thus reducing the aggregate sentence to 2⅓ to 7 years … .  People v Lloyd, 2018 NY Slip Op 03032, Fourth Dept 4-27-18
