Opinion
November 9, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chetta, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We discern no basis for disturbing the hearing court's determination that the defendant's oral and videotaped statements were voluntarily made after he was advised of, and waived, his rights to remain silent and to the assistance of counsel (see, People v. Crews, 128 A.D.2d 799, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 645). The defendant's claim that the sentence imposed is harsh and excessive is without merit (cf., Penal Law § 70.00 [a] [i]; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Niehoff, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
