Opinion
May 23, 1994
Appeal from the County Court, Rockland County (Nelson, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant did not move to withdraw his plea in the court of first instance, and therefore the issue of the propriety of the plea is not preserved for appellate review (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). In any event, generalized or unsubstantiated claims of innocence do not warrant vacatur (see, People v. Carter, 191 A.D.2d 640).
The defendant's sentence, which was the lowest allowed by law, was not excessive. Mangano, P.J., Balletta, O'Brien, Hart and Florio, JJ., concur.
