PEOPLE v. TOWLES

Judgment affirmed.

Defendant contends that his first felony conviction could not serve as a basis for sentencing him as a second felony offender because prior to the plea resulting in the original felony conviction he was not advised that he would thereafter be subject to enhanced punishment for a subsequent felony conviction. This contention is without merit ( People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v. McGrath, 43 N.Y.2d 803; People v. Sirianni, 89 A.D.2d 775).

We have considered defendant's other contention and find it to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Thompson and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
