OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Mark Diamond, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Donald Berk of counsel; Danielle Shure on the brief), for respondent.
PETER B. SKELOS, J.P., DANIEL D. ANGIOLILLO, THOMAS A. DICKERSON, and L. PRISCILLA HALL, JJ.
Appeals by the defendant from (1) a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Jaeger, J., at plea; Aaron, J., at sentencing), rendered February 8, 2011, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree under Superior Court Information No. 839/10, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence, and (2) a judgment of the same court (McCormack, J., at plea; Aaron, J., at sentencing), also rendered February 8, 2011, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 2677/10, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.
Contrary to the People's contention, the defendant did not validly waive his right to appeal ( see People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145;People v. Holmes, 95 A.D.3d 1236, 943 N.Y.S.2d 906,lv. denied19 N.Y.3d 997, 951 N.Y.S.2d 473, 975 N.E.2d 919).
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court failed to comply with CPL 400.21 before sentencing him as a second felony offender is unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v. Proctor, 79 N.Y.2d 992, 994, 584 N.Y.S.2d 435, 594 N.E.2d 929;People v. Smith, 73 N.Y.2d 961, 962, 540 N.Y.S.2d 987, 538 N.E.2d 339;People v. Cullum, 93 A.D.3d 856, 940 N.Y.S.2d 872;People v. Delston, 30 A.D.3d 536, 536, 818 N.Y.S.2d 223;People v. Alston, 289 A.D.2d 339, 734 N.Y.S.2d 583). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit, as the statutory purposes of CPL 400.21 have been met and the Supreme Court substantially complied with the statute ( see People v. Bouyea, 64 N.Y.2d 1140, 1142, 490 N.Y.S.2d 724, 480 N.E.2d 338). The Supreme Court provided the defendant with notice of the predicate felony statement and an opportunity to be heard. Furthermore, the defendant admitted the allegations in the predicate felony statement, and there is no indication that the defendant contemplated a challenge to the constitutionality of his prior conviction ( see People v. Bouyea, 64 N.Y.2d at 1142, 490 N.Y.S.2d 724, 480 N.E.2d 338;People v. Luisi, 81 A.D.3d 980, 917 N.Y.S.2d 582;People v. Glynn, 72 A.D.3d 1351, 899 N.Y.S.2d 442;People v. Merriman, 45 A.D.3d 700, 850 N.Y.S.2d 108).
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court failed to conduct a hearing or adduce sufficient evidence to determine the amount of restitution imposed is unpreserved for appellate review, since the...
