Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Harjinder Gandham appeals the sentence imposed following his convictions for felony violations of a no-contact order. He contends the court violated his statutory right to allocution because it did not offer him an opportunity to speak until after it had orally rejected the defense request for a DOSA. It is undisputed, however, that Gandham did not raise this alleged statutory violation below. Gandham also has failed to demonstrate any prejudice. In these circumstances, we need not consider the issue for the first time on appeal. State v. Hughes, 154 Wn.2d 118, 110 P.3d 192 (2005).
Affirmed.
