People v. Towles

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 8, 1985
110 A.D.2d 729 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 8, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gallagher, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant contends that his first felony conviction could not serve as a basis for sentencing him as a second felony offender because prior to the plea resulting in the original felony conviction he was not advised that he would thereafter be subject to enhanced punishment for a subsequent felony conviction. This contention is without merit ( People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v. McGrath, 43 N.Y.2d 803; People v. Sirianni, 89 A.D.2d 775).

We have considered defendant's other contention and find it to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Thompson and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
