Before: McCARTHY, J.P., EGAN JR., DEVINE, CLARK and AARONS, JJ.

DEVINE, J.

142 A.D.3d 1251

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Albany County (Herrick, J.), entered June 24, 2014, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of burglary in the second degree.

In satisfaction of a six-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to burglary in the second degree and waived his right to appeal. County Court imposed the agreed-upon prison sentence

142 A.D.3d 1252

of 12 years with five years of postrelease supervision and ordered defendant to pay restitution. Defendant appeals.

We affirm. Initially, defendant argues that his guilty plea was involuntary because he was not informed about his predicate sentencing status. This claim was not adequately preserved for our review by a timely postallocution motion to withdraw his plea (see People v. Lewis, 138 A.D.3d 1346, 1347, 30 N.Y.S.3d 387 [2016] ).1 Defendant, in any event, was made aware during the plea colloquy that his prior felony convictions may or may not result in second felony offender sentencing and that his status in that regard, which would not affect the agreed-upon sentence, would be determined at sentencing. County Court determined at sentencing that defendant's prior convictions did not qualify him for predicate sentencing and imposed the promised sentence. Under these circumstances, were we to address this claim, we would find that his guilty plea was voluntary, knowing and intelligent (see People v. Haffiz, 19 N.Y.3d 883, 884, 951 N.Y.S.2d 690, 976 N.E.2d 216 [2012] ; People v.

Medina, 129 A.D.3d 1385, 1386, 12 N.Y.S.3d 352 [2015], lv. denied 26 N.Y.3d 1090, 23 N.Y.S.3d 647, 44 N.E.3d 945 [2015] ).

Defendant also contends that County Court erred in denying his motions to suppress his statements to police and DNA evidence. However, these challenges to adverse suppression rulings are precluded by defendant's knowing, voluntary...
