PRESENT: MICHELLE WESTON, J.P., DAVID ELLIOT, WAVNY TOUSSAINT, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pleaded guilty to criminal mischief in the fourth degree ( Penal Law § 145.00 [1] ) in exchange for a sentence of 30 days' imprisonment and the issuance of a full order of protection in favor of the complainant, a homeowner who had observed the basement window of his home broken, with defendant inside. The Criminal Court sentenced defendant in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement, and issued a final order of protection in favor of the complainant.
On appeal, defendant argues that the order of protection issued in the complainant's favor was improper because they are strangers. While an order of protection issued at the time of sentencing can be reviewed upon an appeal from the judgment of conviction ( see People v Nieves , 2 NY3d 310, 315 [2004] ), here, defendant failed to preserve this argument for appellate review, as he failed to object to the order of protection at sentencing or move to amend the order on this ground ( see CPL 470.05 [2] ; People v Nieves , 2 NY3d at 316-318 ; People v D.A. , 184 AD3d 581, 583 [2020] ; People v May , 138 AD3d 1146, 1147 [2016] ; People v Foreman , 67 Misc 3d 131[A], 2020 NY Slip Op 50434[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2020]). We decline to review the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction ( see People v Kennedy , 151 AD3d 1079, 1079-1080 [2017] ; People v Bernardini , 142 AD3d 671, 672 [2016] ; People v Kumar , 127 AD3d 882, 883 [2015] ), as defendant specifically agreed to the issuance of an order of protection as part of his plea agreement ( see People v Smith , 83 AD3d 1213, 1214 [2011] ).
Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
WESTON, J.P., ELLIOT and TOUSSAINT, JJ., concur.
