Before: Crew III, J.P., Carpinello, Mugglin, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

While serving a five-year term of probation following his conviction of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, defendant was arrested, charged and pleaded guilty to another drug-related crime. As a result of the new arrest, defendant was charged with violating the terms of his probation. In exchange for pleading guilty to violating the terms of his probation, defendant's probation was revoked and he received an agreed-upon sentence of 3 to 9 years in prison. Defendant appeals, contending that County Court erred in sentencing him without an updated presentence investigation report.

Having failed to make the appropriate objections at the resentencing or to file a motion to vacate the resentencing, this issue has not been preserved for our review (see People v. Olivett, 301 A.D.2d 968, 969; People v. De Fayette, 241 A.D.2d 761, 762, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 939). In any event, were we to consider the issue, we would find no abuse of discretion. Only eight months elapsed from defendant's probationary sentence to his new arrest, after which defendant remained incarcerated until he was resentenced (see People v. Kuey, 83 N.Y.2d 278, 282). Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant was resentenced to a term which would be concurrent with the longer sentence imposed on his new charge. Additionally, there was no request by defense counsel to obtain an updated presentence investigation report and, following the guilty plea, he consented to County Court proceeding immediately to sentencing, at which time defendant declined the court's offer to speak (see People v. Moon, 225 A.D.2d 826, 828, lv denied 88 N.Y.2d 939). We are also unpersuaded by defendant's assertion that the agreed-upon sentence was harsh or excessive or that the record presents any extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v. Olivett, supra at 969;People v. Ballinger, 299 A.D.2d 738, 739).

Crew III, J.P., Carpinello, Mugglin, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
