Opinion
November 24, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Juviler, J.).
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
There is no merit to the defendant's contention that the People's failure to comply with the provisions of CPL 400.21 denied him the opportunity to controvert his second felony offender status ( see, People v. Bouyea, 64 N.Y.2d 1140; People v Gottschalk, 204 A.D.2d 567; People v. Carmello, 114 A.D.2d 965).
Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Copertino, Sullivan and McGinity, JJ., concur.
