STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. JEFFREY S. ZEIKEL A-1495-10T4 11-09-11

STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. JEFFREY S. ZEIKEL A-1495-10T4


Defendant was correctly sentenced as a third-time DWI

offender based on a prior conviction in New Jersey for DWI and

two prior convictions in New York State for driving while

ability impaired. The New York convictions were "of a

substantially similar nature" as a DWI violation in New Jersey.

See N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a)(3). Defendant's constitutional,

statutory, and factual challenges to the consideration of his

1980s New York convictions are rejected.
