THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. EDILBERTO TANTAU, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant was adjudicated a second felony offender based upon his conviction in Pennsylvania for robbery. The defendant now argues for the first time on appeal that a comparison of the analogous statutes indicates that the elements are not the same. However, such claim was not raised at the hearing and thus is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Oliver, 63 N.Y.2d 973; People v Alston, 134 A.D.2d 433; People v Morales, 143 A.D.2d 949 [decided herewith]).

In any event, the defendant was properly adjudicated a second felony offender because an examination of the relevant statutes shows that the elements are equivalent (compare, 18 Pa Cons Stat Annot § 3701 [a] [1] [ii]; § 3921 [a]; § 3901, with Penal Law § 160.00). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Kunzeman, Weinstein and Kooper, JJ., concur.
