DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (John B. Collins, J.), rendered January 6, 2020, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant, by his plea of guilty, forfeited his right to challenge the geographical jurisdiction of Suffolk County to prosecute the charged offense (see People v Armstead, 122 A.D.3d 640, 641; People v De Alvarez, 59 A.D.3d 732; People v Pickens, 256 A.D.2d 425).
DILLON, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, FORD and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
