DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Matthew Sciarrino, Jr., J.), rendered December 11, 2017, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions regarding the final order of protection issued at the time of sentencing are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2] ; People v. Nieves, 2 N.Y.3d 310, 316–318, 778 N.Y.S.2d 751, 811 N.E.2d 13 ; People v. DeRobertis, 191 A.D.3d 898, 138 N.Y.S.3d 919 ). Under the circumstances, we decline to review these contentions in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see People v. DeRobertis, 191 A.D.3d 898, 138 N.Y.S.3d 919 ; People v. Rodriguez, 191 A.D.3d 807, 808, 138 N.Y.S.3d 360 ; People v. Hampton, 186 A.D.3d 855, 127 N.Y.S.3d 327 ). "[T]he better practice—and best use of judicial resources—is for a defendant seeking adjustment of [an order 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 ; see People v. DeRobertis, 191 A.D.3d 898, 138 N.Y.S.3d 919 ; People v. Rodriguez, 191 A.D.3d at 808, 138 N.Y.S.3d 360 ; People v. Hampton, 186 A.D.3d 855, 127 N.Y.S.3d 327 ).
