Opinion
July 6, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Brennan, J.).
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The defendant failed to raise his objections to the adequacy of his plea allocutions in the court of first instance and, accordingly, has not preserved his claim for appellate review (see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v. Banks, 117 A.D.2d 611, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 939; People v. Buchicchio, 116 A.D.2d 729, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 940). A reversal in the interest of justice is not warranted (see, People v. Greenridge, 129 A.D.2d 585; People v. Soto, 111 A.D.2d 836; People v. Nasti, 90 A.D.2d 507; People v. Ebron, 87 A.D.2d 653).
The defendant contends that the court erred in sentencing him as a second felony offender on the ground that his prior felony conviction was constitutionally infirm. He was fully advised of his right to a hearing to controvert the predicate felony statement filed by the People, including the right to challenge the constitutionality of his prior conviction. "His failure to object to, or controvert the use of, his prior felony conviction as a predicate felony, or request a hearing thereon, was a waiver of his right to challenge that conviction and its validity" (People v. Banks, 117 A.D.2d 611, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 939, supra; see also, People v. Mumit, 106 A.D.2d 411; People v. Barnes, 99 A.D.2d 877; CPL 400.21, [7] [b]). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Rubin, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
