DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Michael A. Martinelli, J.), rendered September 6, 2018, convicting him of attempted burglary in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review an order of protection dated September 6, 2018, issued at the time of sentencing.

ORDERED that upon the appeal from the judgment, so much of the order of protection dated September 6, 2018, as directed that it remain in effect until September 6, 2029, less the defendant's jail-time credit, to be computed by the applicable department of correction, is vacated, on the law and as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Westchester County, for a new determination of the duration of the order of protection, consistent herewith; and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the exception to the preservation requirement does not apply here because the defendant's allocution

did not cast significant doubt on his guilt, negate an essential element of the crime, or call into question

112 N.Y.S.3d 166

the voluntariness of his plea (see People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d at 666, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5 ). In any event, the facts the defendant admitted during his plea allocution were sufficient to establish the elements of the crime of attempted burglary in the third degree ( Penal Law §§ 140.20, 110.00 ).

The defendant's further contention that he did not...
