Parties, 389 N.E.2d 1108 The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Irving ADAMS, Appellant.
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division, 59 A.D.2d 895, 399 N.Y.S.2d 608, should be affirmed.

Despite the defendant's manifested awareness of the Trial Judge's involvement in the plea negotiations and of the statutorily prescribed three-year minimum term for a class A-III felony, neither at the time he decided to plead guilty, nor at his sentencing four months later, did the defendant take any exception. Nor did he subsequently move to vacate the plea and the sentence imposed thereon. Consequently, any errors in connection therewith, if errors they were, not having been preserved, are now beyond our power of review (CPL 470.05, subd. 2; People v. McGowen, 42 N.Y.2d 905, 907, 397 N.Y.S.2d 1003, 366 N.E.2d 1347 (alleged sentence defect resulting from court's failure to make youthful offender determination); People v. Adams, 38 N.Y.2d 605, 607, 381 N.Y.S.2d 847, 345 N.E.2d 318 (alleged speedy trial defect)).

COOKE, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER and FUCHSBERG, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
