HARVEY, Justice.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Otsego County (Mogavero, Jr., J.), rendered November 17, 1986, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of two counts of the crime of forgery in the second degree.

In April 1986, defendant was indicted for seven counts of the crime of forgery in the second degree. Defendant subsequently pleaded guilty to two counts of the indictment in full satisfaction of the charges against him. As part of the plea bargain, it was agreed that defendant would receive a term of imprisonment of 1 to 3 years on the first count and a concurrent term of five years' probation on the second count. Defendant was sentenced in compliance with the agreement. He has served a term of imprisonment and is currently on parole. On this appeal, defendant challenges the validity of the sentence of probation.

Bucci, 122 A.D.2d 562, 505 N.Y.S.2d 291; Hechtman, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons.Laws of N.Y., Book 39, Penal Law § 65.00, at 168-169). Here, defendant received a sentence of 1 to 3 years' imprisonment for his plea of guilty to one count of the crime of forgery in the second degree, a class D felony. He also received...
