Neal D. Futerfas, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant. William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Joan H. McCarthy of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), rendered April 25, 2012, convicting him of failure to register or verify as a sex offender, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the County Court failed to conduct a proper inquiry into his post-plea arrest before imposing an enhanced sentence is unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v. Miles, 268 A.D.2d 489, 703 N.Y.S.2d 491). In any event, the court's inquiry was proper ( see generally People v. Outley, 80 N.Y.2d 702, 713, 594 N.Y.S.2d 683, 610 N.E.2d 356).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 85, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675). RIVERA, J.P., DICKERSON, COHEN, HINDS–RADIX and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
