THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DOUGLAS J. MOORE, Appellant.

Order unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Except in certain enumerated cases not applicable here, Penal Law § 70.25 permits the court, when imposing multiple sentences, to direct that the sentences run either concurrently or consecutively. Thus, the court was not precluded from directing that defendant's definite sentence run consecutively with his indeterminate sentence. Penal Law § 70.25, however, must be read with Penal Law § 70.35. Defendant's definite sentence will be satisfied "only where the defendant actually serves the indeterminate sentence. If such sentence is vacated, the definite sentence must be served. No credit is granted against either sentence for time served under the other." (Commn Staff Notes to Proposed New York Penal Law § 30.35 [enacted as § 70.35] [1964 Special Pamph]; see also, People ex rel. McGuire v Smith, 54 A.D.2d 1066; Matter of Whittaker v Smith, 51 A.D.2d 858, appeal dismissed 41 N.Y.2d 943.)
