| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Lavonne Smith, Appellant. |
—[*1] Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Thomas M. Ross, andMarie John-Drigo of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Egitto, J.),rendered February 20, 1996, convicting him of robbery in the first degree (two counts) andcriminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court improperly imposed consecutive terms ofimprisonment for his two convictions of robbery in the first degree is without merit. The subjectrobberies were predicated upon distinct acts committed against separate victims (see People v Stewartson, 25 AD3d629, 630 [2006]; People vSummers, 20 AD3d 546, 547 [2005]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).Rivera, J.P., Santucci, Krausman and Lifson, JJ., concur.
