Opinion
November 7, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Aiello, J.).
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record clearly establishes that he received adequate and meaningful legal representation (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Moreover, the defendant's challenges to the adequacy of his plea allocutions have not been preserved for appellate review since he did not seek to withdraw his guilty pleas prior to sentencing (see, People v. Demonde, 111 A.D.2d 867). In any event, the defendant's claims are without merit.
Furthermore, the defendant's claim that the concurrent sentences of 12 1/2 to 25 years imposed by the sentencing court were excessive is without merit. The defendant was promised these sentences at the time he pleaded guilty and cannot now be heard to complain in this regard (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Rubin and Eiber, JJ., concur.
