Opinion
April 6, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Ingrassia, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant specifically declined to controvert the validity of his prior felony conviction and he was, therefore, properly adjudicated a second felony offender.
Moreover, the defendant's contention that the provisions for mandatory enhanced prison sentences for second felony offenders are unconstitutional is without merit and has repeatedly been rejected (see, People v Morse, 62 N.Y.2d 205; People v Hutching, 112 A.D.2d 169; People v Thompson, 105 A.D.2d 762). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Weinstein, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
