DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
We reject the defendant's contention that the imposition of consecutive sentences was illegal (see, Penal Law § 70.25; People v. Laureano, 87 N.Y.2d 640). Moreover, the defendant received the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Scalzo, 249 A.D.2d 494; People v. Hall, 224 A.D.2d 710).
