MEMORANDUM:
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of assault in the first degree (Penal Law § 120.10[1] ). Defendant failed to move to withdraw his plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction and thus failed to preserve for our review his contention that his plea was not knowing and voluntary ( see People v. Jones, 118 A.D.3d 1354, 1354, 987 N.Y.S.2d 749). Defendant also failed to preserve for our review his contention that County Court improperly delegated to the prosecutor the authority to conduct a portion of the plea allocution ( see People v. Swontek (Appeal No. 1), 289 A.D.2d 989, 989, 734 N.Y.S.2d 919). This case does not fall within the narrow exception to the preservation rule ( see People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5).
Finally, the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed. SCUDDER, P.J., FAHEY, PERADOTTO, SCONIERS, and DeJOSEPH, JJ., concur.
