People v. Mezon
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was properly sentenced as a persistent violent felony offender, since the certified copies of the judgments of conviction from the clerks of both New York and Westchester Counties constituted presumptive evidence , of the defendant’s two prior violent felony convictions (see, CPL 60.60 [1]). Moreover, the fact that the defendant was sentenced in 1984 as a second violent felony offender was binding upon him in this sentencing proceeding (see, CPL 400.15 [8]; see also, People v Omaro, 197 AD2d 711). Rosenblatt, J. P., Thompson, Pizzuto and Hart, JJ., concur.
