Opinion
July 6, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Nicolai, J.).
Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.
CPL 400.21 does not mandate a "catechism" of questioning prior to imposition of a sentence as a predicate felony offender. The procedure is sufficient if, as here, the defendant admitted that he was previously convicted of a felony and was subject to sentencing as a second felony offender (see, People v. Bryant, 47 A.D.2d 51; People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9, 20). Nor was the bargained-for sentence excessive (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Rubin, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
