Opinion
February 9, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There is no merit to the defendant's contention that his prior conviction in New Jersey for possession of a controlled, dangerous substance with intent to distribute in the second degree ( see, NJ Stat Annot § 2C:35-5 [a] [1]; [b] [2]) could not serve as a predicate felony in New York ( see, People v. Olivo, 212 A.D.2d 642, People v. Martinez, 196 A.D.2d 849).
Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Joy, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
