Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the law, by (1) vacating the sentence imposed, and (2) vacating the adjudication that the defendant is a persistent felony offender and substituting therefor an adjudication that the defendant is a second violent felony offender; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for resentencing of the defendant as a second violent felony offender.

The People concede that the Supreme Court erred in adjudicating the defendant to be a persistent felony offender. In 1972, the defendant was convicted of criminal possession of dangerous drugs in the fourth degree and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of one year. Because the sentence was not in excess of one year, that conviction could not be considered a previous felony for the purpose of adjudicating the defendant a persistent felony offender (see, Penal Law § 70.10 [b] [i]; see also, People v Vincent, 105 A.D.2d 468, 469; People v Moran, 110 Misc.2d 858; cf., People v Griffin, 168 A.D.2d 972). In 1978, the defendant was convicted under Kings County Indictment Number 3272/77 of manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. Sentence was imposed on the same day with respect to these two felonies. Hence, the felonies must be treated as one prior felony conviction (see, Penal Law § 70.10 [c]; cf., People v Morse, 62 N.Y.2d 205, 221-225; People v Ellison, 121 A.D.2d 462; People v Sykes, 110 A.D.2d 918). In the absence of two prior felony convictions, as defined in Penal Law § 70.10, the defendant was improperly adjudicated a persistent felony offender, and should be resentenced as a second violent felony offender.

We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit (see, People v Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951; People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v Jalah, 107 A.D.2d 762, 763). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
