Opinion
February 14, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Griffin, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his prior conviction in New Jersey for distribution of a controlled dangerous substance (see, NJ Stat Annot § 24:21-19 [A] [a] [1]) could not serve as a predicate felony in New York is without merit (see, People v Martinez, 196 A.D.2d 849). Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Lawrence, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
