DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant's pleas constituted an automatic forfeiture of his right to appellate review of his argument that he was deprived of his statutory right to a speedy trial (see, CPL 30.30; People v. O'Brien, 56 N.Y.2d 1009 ; People v. Smith, 249 A.D.2d 426 ). The defendant's argument based on his constitutional right to a speedy trial (US Const 6th, 14th Amends; NY Const, art I, § 6), which survived both the plea and the defendant's express waiver of his right to appeal (see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273 ), is without merit (see, People v. Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442 ).
BRACKEN, J.P., S. MILLER, ALTMAN, and LUCIANO, JJ., concur.
