Opinion
December 8, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert Adlerberg, J.).
By failing to raise it with specificity in his motion to withdraw his plea, defendant did not preserve his current challenge to his plea ( People v. James, 239 A.D.2d 243, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 906), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that defendant was sufficiently warned of the consequences of absconding or committing new crimes ( see, People v. Velez, 212 A.D.2d 647).
