DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (William Miller, J.), rendered November 29, 2018, convicting him of attempted robbery in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. The appeal from the judgment brings up for review two orders of protection issued at the time of sentencing.
ORDERED that upon the appeal from the judgment, so much of the orders of protection as directed that they remain in effect until and including November 29, 2027, are vacated, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for a new determination of the duration of the orders of protection consistent herewith; and it is further, ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The issue of the duration of two orders of protection issued upon the defendant's conviction is properly before this Court on appeal from the judgment (see People v Nieves, 2 N.Y.3d 310, 315). However, the defendant's contention with respect to the duration of the orders of protection is unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant did not raise it at sentencing or move to amend the orders of protection (see People v Ramos, 164 A.D.3d 922, 923). Nevertheless, we reach this issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see CPL 470.15[6][a]; People v Ramos, 164 A.D.3d at 923).
As the People correctly concede, the duration of the orders of protection exceeded the maximum period permissible under CPL 530.13(4)(a). Accordingly, we vacate so much of the orders of protection as directed that they remain in effect until and including November 29, 2027, and remit the matter to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for a new determination of the duration of the orders of protection in accordance with CPL 530.13(4)(a) (see People v Bolden, 193 A.D.3d 1369, 1369-1370; People v Alston, 188 A.D.3d 1235; People v Ramos, 164 A.D.3d 922).
