Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York June 1, 2000 (People v. Jones)

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (John Stackhouse, J.), rendered April 28, 1998, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted rape in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of lxh to 15 years, unanimously affirmed.

The court’s Sandoval ruling balanced the appropriate factors and was a proper exercise of discretion (see, People v Walker, 83 NY2d 455, 458-459).
