Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Vernon A. Ninham, Appellant.

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The record of the suppression hearing supports the court's determination that defendant was prop erly advised of his Miranda warnings (see, Miranda v Arizona, 384 US 436) and knowingly and voluntarily waived those rights before giving a statement to the police. We further conclude that the court properly imposed a consecutive sentence on defendant's conviction for burglary in the third degree. The burglary conviction involved acts which were separate and distinct from those involved in the remaining convictions (see, People v Brathwaite, 63 NY2d 839).
