Opinion
May 2, 1988
Appeal from the County Court, Dutchess County (Hillery, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant failed to raise his objections to the adequacy of his plea allocution in the court of first instance and, accordingly, has not preserved his claim for appellate review (People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Banks, 117 A.D.2d 611, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 939). Moreover, a defendant who accepts a bargained-for plea to a lesser offense, as here, forfeits his right to challenge the factual basis for the plea (see, People v Pelchat, 62 N.Y.2d 97, 108; People v Foster, 19 N.Y.2d 150, 151). Consequently, we reject the defendant's contention that the factual recitation of the crime was insufficient to support his guilty plea (see, People v Riley, 120 A.D.2d 752), which was entered after a knowing, voluntary and intelligent waiver of his constitutional rights (People v Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9). Mangano, J.P., Kunzeman, Rubin and Harwood, JJ., concur.
