Opinion
November 2, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (LaCava, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Upon review of the record, we are satisfied that the defendant received the effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Rivera, 71 N.Y.2d 705).
Moreover, the imposition of consecutive sentences was not illegal since the record supports the finding that the crimes of which the defendant was convicted were not committed through a single act ( see, People v. Williams, 180 A.D.2d 774).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
