DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Danny K. Chun, J.), rendered March 28, 2018, convicting him of enterprise corruption, conspiracy in the fourth degree, and criminal sale of a firearm in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
In 2014, the defendant and others participated in an enterprise involving the trafficking and sale of illegal firearms. The defendant was convicted, upon his plea of guilty, of enterprise corruption, conspiracy in the fourth degree, and criminal sale of a firearm in the first degree.
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of his constitutional right to a speedy trial is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Lieberman, 47 N.Y.2d 931, 932, 419 N.Y.S.2d 946, 393 N.E.2d 1019 ; People v. Dancy, 177 A.D.3d 995, 996, 111 N.Y.S.3d 189 ; People v. Morales, 171 A.D.3d 945, 948, 98 N.Y.S.3d 121 ). In any event, upon review of the relevant factors (see People v. Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442, 445, 373 N.Y.S.2d 79, 335 N.E.2d 303 ), the defendant's constitutional right to a speedy trial was not violated (see id. at 445, 373 N.Y.S.2d 79, 335 N.E.2d 303 ; People v. Desselle, 167 A.D.3d 418, 418–419, 86 N.Y.S.3d 887 ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ). The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
IANNACCI, J.P., RIVERA, WOOTEN and DOWLING, JJ., concur.
