Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, SONDRA MILLER, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is modified, on the law, by reversing the conviction of assault in the second degree, vacating the sentence imposed thereon, and dismissing that count of the indictment, and by making all sentences run concurrently with the exception of that imposed on the conviction of unlawful imprisonment in the first degree; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant requested only that the court provide an adverse inference charge with respect to an alleged Rosario violation. Therefore, his present contention that the court should have conducted an inquiry to ascertain the existence of alleged Rosario material is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v. Mercado, 265 A.D.2d 177; People v. Sam, 262 A.D.2d 665; cf., People v. Farrell, 207 A.D.2d 560; People v. Rosario, 9 N.Y.2d 286), and we decline to review it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see, People v. Lorenzo, 272 A.D.2d 184; People v. Pichado, 268 A.D.2d 346). As the People correctly concede, the defendant's conviction for assault in the second degree should have been dismissed as a lesser-included offense of assault in the first degree (see, People v. Garofalo, 192 A.D.2d 619). Similarly, the Supreme Court erred in imposing consecutive sentences on the two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree (see, People v. Lyde, 258 A.D.2d 669).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
