People v. James

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 26, 1990
159 A.D.2d 723 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 26, 1990

Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Patsalos, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record reveals that, prior to the defendant's adjudication as a second felony offender, the prosecution identified the prior conviction upon which it was relying, and the defendant was afforded a full opportunity to attack any aspect of that conviction in order to establish that it should not be used to enhance his sentence. However, both the defendant and his counsel conceded his status as a second felony offender, and no challenge was made to the imposition of the enhanced sentence. Under these circumstances, the defendant's present contentions regarding the alleged impropriety of his adjudication as a second felony offender are unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Sullivan, 153 A.D.2d 223). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Sullivan, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
