Opinion
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Kahn, J.), rendered October 18, 2013, convicting him of failure to register or verify as a sex offender, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered because the County Court failed to sufficiently explain to him all of the constitutional rights that he was waiving upon his plea is unpreserved for appellate review since he did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise raise this issue before the court (see CPL 220.60[3]; People v. Pollidore, 123 A.D.3d 1058, 997 N.Y.S.2d 752; People v. Holcombe, 116 A.D.3d 1063, 983 N.Y.S.2d 875; People v. Franco, 104 A.D.3d 790, 960 N.Y.S.2d 507). In any event, the defendant's contention is belied by the record, including the court's plea allocution, and the defendant's acknowledgment that he discussed taking the plea with his attorney (see People v. Tyrell, 22 N.Y.3d 359, 365, 981 N.Y.S.2d 336).
