Opinion
January 23, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Zelman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention as to the sufficiency of the factual allocution has not been preserved for appellate review, as he failed to raise this issue in the court of first instance (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Carter, 109 A.D.2d 747). In any event, the allocution was sufficient to justify the court's acceptance of the defendant's guilty plea (see, People v Millington, 111 A.D.2d 993; People v Johnson, 107 A.D.2d 713).
The defendant's contention that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel is without merit. Mollen, P.J., Brown, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
