THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. LEFORD A. BROWN, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the law, by reversing the defendant's conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (two counts), vacating the sentence imposed thereon, and dismissing those counts of the indictment; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.

Inasmuch as the convictions for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (two counts) were based on the possession of the same vials of crack cocaine, the latter charge constitutes an inclusory concurrent count of the former. Accordingly, the conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (two counts) should be reversed and those counts dismissed (see, CPL 300.40 [b]; People v Wilson, 162 A.D.2d 747; People v McBee, 143 A.D.2d 773, 775).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
