Douglas J. Martino, Rye Brook, N.Y., for appellant. Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Laurie Sapakoff and Richard Longworth Hecht of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Lorenzo, J.), rendered October 1, 2012, convicting him of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
By pleading guilty, the defendant forfeited his claims relating to pretrial discovery ( see People v. Hansen, 95 N.Y.2d 227, 230, 715 N.Y.S.2d 369, 738 N.E.2d 773). The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. DILLON, J.P., BALKIN, LEVENTHAL and CHAMBERS, JJ., concur.
