Before CARDONA, P.J., and CREW, WHITE, YESAWICH and CARPINELLO, JJ.
Appeals (1) from a judgment of the County Court of Schenectady County (Eidens, J.), rendered March 28, 1995, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of three counts of the crime of burglary in the third degree, and (2) by permission, from two orders of said court, entered August 5, 1995 and July 29, 1996, which denied defendant's motions pursuant to CPL 440.20 to set aside the sentence following his conviction, without a hearing.
Defendant pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary in the third degree in satisfaction of 13 charges contained in two superior court informations and multiple other pending charges. He was sentenced as a second felony offender to an aggregate prison term of 7 to 14 years based upon a prior out-of-State felony conviction. Defendant moved pursuant to CPL 440.20 to set aside the sentence on the ground that he was improperly adjudicated a second felony offender. County Court denied the motion. Thereafter, defendant made a second motion pursuant to CPL 440.20 to set aside the sentence based upon ineffective assistance of counsel which was also denied. Defendant appeals from the judgment of conviction and the orders denying his CPL 440.20 motions.
At sentencing, County Court informed defendant of his right to challenge the constitutionality of the out-of-State conviction and the factual information contained therein. Defendant, who was represented by counsel and consulted with him, declined to challenge the predicate felony statement and made no objection to being sentenced as a second felony offender. Notwithstanding defendant's contention to the contrary, we find that County Court adequately apprised him of his right to challenge the prior out-of-State conviction (see, CPL 400.21; see generally, People v. Polanco, 232 A.D.2d 674, 648 N.Y.S.2d 56). Furthermore, we find no error in County Court's denial of defendant's motion to vacate the sentence on the ground that his prior out-of-State felony conviction did not qualify as a predicate felony under applicable State law. Defendant waived his right to challenge the use of the prior conviction and its validity by failing to controvert the use thereof or request a hearing thereon (see, People v. Barton, 200 A.D.2d 888, 606 N.Y.S.2d 842, lv. denied 83 N.Y.2d 849, 612 N.Y.S.2d 380, 634 N.E.2d 981; People v.
