1998 N.Y. Slip Op. 10,877

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. ANONYMOUS, Defendant-Appellant.

Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, First Department.

Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, First Department.

Dec. 8, 1998.

Ilisa T. Fleischer, for Respondent.

Paul J. Angioletti, for Defendant-Appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert Adlerberg, J.,) rendered June 21, 1996, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 15 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

By failing to raise it with specificity in his motion to withdraw his plea, defendant did not preserve his current challenge to his plea (People v. James, 239 A.D.2d 243, 657 N.Y.S.2d 413, lv. denied 90 N.Y.2d 906, 663 N.Y.S.2d 518, 686 N.E.2d 230), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that defendant was sufficiently warned of the consequences of absconding or committing new crimes (see, People v. Velez, 212 A.D.2d 647, 622 N.Y.S.2d 576).

SULLIVAN, J.P., and ROSENBERGER, WALLACH and MAZZARELLI, JJ., concur.
