Opinion
No. 2009-00897.
January 18, 2011.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Mullings, J.), rendered December 9, 2008, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Erica Horwitz of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Sharon Y. Brodt of counsel; Ruth L. Israely on the brief), for respondent.
Before: Angiolillo, J.P., Dickerson, Hall and Austin, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered is unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v Pellegrino, 60 NY2d 636, 637; People v Trent, 74 AD3d 1370). In any event, his plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered ( see People v Morales, 60 AD3d 546; see also People v Minaya, 54 NY2d 360, 365, cert denied 455 US 1024; People v Perez, 35 AD3d 1030; People v Torres, 222 AD2d 271).
