Opinion
March 25, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
Defendant contends that Criminal Term erred in accepting his plea of guilty because it failed to apprise him of his right to testify in his own behalf. The defendant did not raise this objection in the court of first instance and thus has failed, as a matter of law, to preserve his claim for appellate review ( People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). In any event, the record discloses that defendant's plea was both knowing and voluntary. The Trial Judge is not required to elicit a detailed set of specific waivers prior to accepting a plea of guilty from a defendant ( People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9, 16).
Defendant's contention that the sentence imposed is unduly harsh is without merit ( People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816, 817). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
