Opinion
September 30, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, Bronx County (David Stadtmauer, J.).
This Court's affirmance of defendant's other conviction ( see, People v. Mercado, 230 A.D.2d 488) renders academic the instant appellate claim, that reversal of the other judgment would require reversal of the instant judgment. In any event, the instant plea was independent of the other conviction.
Concur — Milonas, J.P., Nardelli, Rubin, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
