ROBBERY WAS THE FELONY UPON WHICH THE FELONY ASSAULT WAS PREDICATED; THEREFORE THE SENTENCES FOR ASSAULT FIRST AND ROBBERY FIRST MUST RUN CONCURRENTLY (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined the sentences for assault first and robbery first should not have been imposed consecutively:

… [T]he court erred in directing that the sentence on the count of assault in the first degree run consecutively to the sentence imposed on the count of robbery in the first degree because the robbery was the predicate felony for the felony assault (see Penal Law § 70.25 [2] …). Inasmuch as “[t]he felony upon which felony assault is predicated is a material element of that crime,” the sentence imposed on the count of assault in the first degree must run concurrently with the sentence imposed on the count of robbery in the first degree … . People v Brown, 2022 NY Slip Op 02655, Fourth Dept 4-22-22

Practice Point: When one felony (here robbery first) is a predicate felony for another (here assault first), the sentence for the two crimes must run concurrently.
