Opinion

MEMORANDUM:

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of rape in the third degree (Penal Law § 130.25[2]). Initially, we agree with defendant that his waiver of the right to appeal was invalid because “ ‘the minimal inquiry made by County Court was insufficient to establish that the court engage[d] defendant in an adequate colloquy to ensure that the waiver of the right to appeal was a knowing and voluntary choice’ ” (People v. Carrasquillo,130 A.D.3d 1498, 1498, 11 N.Y.S.3d 499; see People v. Harris,121 A.D.3d 1423, 1424, 995 N.Y.S.2d 410, lv. denied 25 N.Y.3d 989, 10 N.Y.S.3d 532, 32 N.E.3d 969). Although defendant's challenge to the voluntariness of his plea would have survived even a valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v. Adams, 57 A.D.3d 1385, 1385, 871 N.Y.S.2d 567, lv. denied 12 N.Y.3d 780, 879 N.Y.S.2d 57, 906 N.E.2d 1091), “defendant did not move to withdraw the plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction and thus failed to preserve his [challenge] for our review” (People v. Dozier,59 A.D.3d 987, 987, 872 N.Y.S.2d 317, lv. denied12 N.Y.3d 815, 881 N.Y.S.2d 23, 908 N.E.2d 931). Defendant also failed to preserve for our review his challenge to the amount of restitution ordered by the court inasmuch as he did not object to the amount of restitution (see People v. Spossey,107 A.D.3d 1420, 1420, 966 N.Y.S.2d 640, lv. denied22 N.Y.3d 1159, 984 N.Y.S.2d 643), or to the fact that the court relied exclusively on the presentence report in determining the amount of

19 N.Y.S.3d 450

restitution (see People v. Cooke,21 A.D.3d 1339, 1339, 804 N.Y.S.2d 516).

We reject defendant's contention that he was...
