Opinion
April 22, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Carey, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There is no merit to the defendant's contention that the charges relating to his possession of controlled substances should have been tried separately from the charges relating to robbery and grand larceny. The evidence presented, including the defendant's admission at trial, demonstrate that his acts constituted a single criminal endeavor with the same purpose, and were closely related and connected in time and circumstance of commission. Thus, these charges were properly tried together ( see, CPL 40.10, 200.20 Crim. Proc.; People v. Johnson, 48 N.Y.2d 925; People v. Gallishaw, 143 A.D.2d 198; People v. Lawrence, 166 A.D.2d 164).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Santucci, J.P., Altman, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
