Opinion
January 3, 1991
Appeal from the County Court of Greene County (Fromer, J.).
Upon his conviction, defendant was resentenced as a second felony offender to five concurrent sentences, the harshest of which is a prison sentence 12 1/2 to 25 years. Initially, we note that defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review the issue of County Court's compliance with CPL 380.50 (see, People v Green, 54 N.Y.2d 878, 880; People v Regan, 88 A.D.2d 664) and we find no reason to reverse on that issue in the interest of justice. We also find that, given defendant's past criminal history and the violent nature of the crimes involved herein, County Court properly exercised its discretion in imposing sentence (see, People v Gholston, 137 A.D.2d 765, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 896; People v Collins, 136 A.D.2d 720, 722, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 894).
Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Weiss, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Harvey, JJ., concur.
