Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hinrichs, J.), rendered February 19, 2010, convicting him attempted robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the County Court conducted a proper inquiry with respect to new charges against the defendant, before imposing an enhancedsentence ( see People v. Outley, 80 N.Y.2d 702, 713, 594 N.Y.S.2d 683, 610 N.E.2d 356). An evidentiary hearing was not required ( see People v. Albergotti, 17 N.Y.3d 748, 750, 929 N.Y.S.2d 18, 952 N.E.2d 1010). Moreover, 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 unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v. Jones, 294 A.D.2d 450, 741 N.Y.S.2d 740) and, in any event, without merit ( see People v. Vasquez, 267 A.D.2d 118, 701 N.Y.S.2d 8).
