Matthew Muraskin, Port Jefferson, NY, for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Edward A. Bannan of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Efman, J.), rendered April 19, 2016, convicting him of attempted burglary in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention concerning the voluntariness of his plea of guilty is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Williams, 27 N.Y.3d 212, 214, 32 N.Y.S.3d 17, 51 N.E.3d 528 ; People v. Zellner, 147 A.D.3d 797, 798, 45 N.Y.S.3d 806 ; People v. May, 138 A.D.3d 1146, 1146, 30 N.Y.S.3d 327 ). In any event, the record as a whole affirmatively demonstrates that the defendant entered his plea of guilty knowingly and voluntarily (see People v. Conceicao, 26 N.Y.3d 375, 382–383, 23 N.Y.S.3d 124, 44 N.E.3d 199 ; People v. May, 138 A.D.3d at 1146, 30 N.Y.S.3d 327 ).
