Opinion
November 24, 1976
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court, Albany County, rendered December 4, 1975, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crimes of robbery in the first degree and unlawful imprisonment in the first degree and sentencing him to an indeterminate term of 12 1/2 to 25 years and 2 to 4 years, to be served concurrently. The imposition of a second felony offender sentence was fully warranted in light of defendant's voluntary admission to a prior felony conviction (People ex rel. Ryan v Smith, 50 A.D.2d 1078). In any event, there was "substantial compliance" with the statutory requirements (People v Bryant, 47 A.D.2d 51, 63) and any alleged error was thus harmless (People v Dayter, 49 A.D.2d 654). Judgment affirmed. Kane, J.P., Main, Larkin, Herlihy and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
