MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Defendant was the subject of two criminal indictments. In satisfaction of the first, he pleaded guilty to the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and was sentenced on March 11, 1999 to a prison term of 2/12 to 7/12 years. In satisfaction of the second indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to the crimes of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third and fourth degrees. On May 25, 1999, County Court imposed two concurrent prison sentences of 5 to 15 years to run consecutively with the earlier sentence of 2/12 to 7/12 years.
Defendant appeals from the second judgment of conviction arguing only that the sentences of 5 to 15 years were harsh and excessive and should, in any event, have been ordered to run concurrently with the earlier prison sentence of 2½ to 7½ years. We disagree. Our review of the record herein convinces us that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would warrant modification of the sentences in the interest of justice (see, People v. Carter, 267 A.D.2d 594, 595, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 917). At the time of his second arrest, defendant was out on bail awaiting trial of the first indictment. He was, nonetheless, found to be in possession of 63 baggies of crack cocaine. Given defendant's history of involvement in criminal activities, both as an adult and as a juvenile offender, together with his continued participation in drug-related crimes despite prior periods of incarceration, we see no reason to disturb the sentences imposed by County Court (see, People v. Moore, 270 A.D.2d 715, 716, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 800; People v. Cooper, 258 A.D.2d 815, 816, lv denied 93 N.Y.2d 1016).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Peters, Mugglin and Rose, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
