The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Toni Branham Matthews, Appellant.
[908 NYS2d 877]

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Berkman, J.), rendered September 20, 2006, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of grand larceny in the second degree, and sentencing her to a term of V-fe to 4 years, with restitution in the amount of $80,154.28, unanimously affirmed.

Since defendant obtained a promise of probation by misrepresenting her ability to pay restitution, the court properly revoked that promise and imposed a prison term, notwithstanding defendant’s partial payment. In any event, on appeal defendant seeks no remedy other than a sentence reduction. Since she has completed the prison and parole components of her sentence, the only remaining provision is restitution, and we decline to reduce the amount ordered.
