James G. Mauro, Jr. and William E. Hellerstein for appellant.

Mario Merola, District Attorney ( Sheri Struhl Feldman of counsel), for respondent.


Order affirmed in the following memorandum: Even if we were to assume that the defendant's plea of guilty was entered after having been told he would be given a suspended sentence, his plea, nevertheless, was to a felony. After conviction for a subsequently committed felony, he could, therefore, be sentenced as a second-felony offender.
