PEOPLE v. PATTERSON

Ordered that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by deleting the provision that the term of imprisonment imposed on the count of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree is to run consecutively to the terms of imprisonment imposed on the murder counts, and substituting therefor a provision that said terms of imprisonment shall run concurrently to each other; as so modified the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's general objection was not sufficient to preserve for appellate review the defendant's present claim that the verdict sheet contained improper material (see, People v Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023, 1025; People v Oliver, 63 N.Y.2d 973; People v Nimmons, 72 N.Y.2d 830).

We find that the sentence was excessive to the extent indicated herein.

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Balletta, JJ., concur.
