| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward McLaughlin, J.), rendered March 1, 1989, convicting defendant, on her plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree, and sentencing her to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 4 1/2 years to life, unanimously affirmed. Defendant sold a kilogram of cocaine to an undercover police officer on November 9, 1987. On November 23, 1987, defendant met the undercover officer again and arranged for the sale of five kilograms of cocaine the following day.
