Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Mercure, J. P., Crew III, Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of burglary in the third degree in satisfaction of a two-count indictment and was sentenced as a second felony offender to a prison term of 2½ to 5 years. We reject defendant's claim that he was improperly sentenced as a second felony offender. Notably, the record indicates that the People filed a CPL 400.21 statement alleging that defendant had previously been convicted within this State of burglary in the third degree, which constituted a predicate felony. Defendant, who was represented by counsel and consulted with him, clearly indicated that he understood that he was pleading guilty to the instant crime as a second felony offender. Defendant raised no constitutional or other challenge to County Court's consideration of his prior conviction and, at the time of sentencing, made no objection to being sentenced as a second felony offender. Thus, defendant was sufficiently given notice of and an opportunity to controvert the allegations made in the second felony offender statement (see, People v Bouyea, 64 NY2d 1140, 1142). Under these circumstances, we find that there was substantial compliance with CPL 400.21 (see, People v Mann, 258 AD2d 738; People v Polanco, 232 AD2d 674, 675).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
