DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William Miller, J.), rendered September 28, 2017, convicting him of unauthorized use of a vehicle in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions concerning the validity of one of the two orders of protection issued at the time of sentencing survive his appeal waiver (see People v. Gibson–Parish , 153 A.D.3d 1273, 59 N.Y.S.3d 702 ; People v. Bernardini , 142 A.D.3d 671, 36 N.Y.S.3d 827 ; People v. Kumar , 127 A.D.3d 882, 4 N.Y.S.3d 900 ; People v. Smith , 112 A.D.3d 759, 976 N.Y.S.2d 564 ; People v. Morrisohn , 111 A.D.3d 853, 975 N.Y.S.2d 350 ; People v. Cedeno , 107 A.D.3d 734, 965 N.Y.S.2d 887 ). However, the defendant's contentions regarding that order of protection are unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Nieves , 2 N.Y.3d 310, 778 N.Y.S.2d 751, 811 N.E.2d 13 ; People v. Gibson–Parish , 153 A.D.3d 1273, 59 N.Y.S.3d 702 ; People v. Mitchell , 142 A.D.3d 1185, 37 N.Y.S.3d 908 ; People v. Bernardini , 142 A.D.3d 671, 36 N.Y.S.3d 827 ; People v. May , 138 A.D.3d 1146, 30 N.Y.S.3d 327 ; People v. O'Connor , 136 A.D.3d 945, 24 N.Y.S.3d 918 ; People v. Hunter , 135 A.D.3d 958, 22 N.Y.S.3d 905 ; People v. Fortier , 130 A.D.3d 642, 12 N.Y.S.3d 283 ), and we decline to review them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. "[T]he better practice—and best use of judicial resources—is for a defendant seeking adjustment of [final orders of protection] to request relief from the issuing court in the first instance, resorting to the appellate courts only if necessary" ( People v. Nieves , 2 N.Y.3d at 317, 778 N.Y.S.2d 751, 811 N.E.2d 13 ).
