Opinion
September 15, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Dwyer, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Since the defendant failed to make a motion to withdraw his plea of guilty, his challenge to the factual sufficiency of his plea is unpreserved for review ( see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). We reject the defendant's contention that preservation was not required as there is nothing in the defendant's allocution which would cast significant doubt on his guilt or otherwise call into question the voluntariness of his plea, nor did his factual recitation negate essential elements of the crimes to which he pleaded guilty ( see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662).
Bracken, J.P., O'Brien, Santucci, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
