Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Ruth E. Ross, and Jordan W. Rossman of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant, as limited by his brief, from a sentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lott, J.), imposed November 5, 2008, upon his conviction of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree (11 counts), upon a jury verdict, on the ground that the sentence was excessive.

Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Mastro, J.P., Florio, Eng and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
