MEMORANDUM AND ORDERMemorandum:

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his guilty plea of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree ( Penal Law § 220.39[1] ) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (§ 220.16[1] ).Defendant's contention that County Court erred in failing to conduct an audibility hearing and to render a decision thereon does not survive his guilty plea (seePeople v. Gillett,105 A.D.3d 1444, 1444, 963 N.Y.S.2d 906[4th Dept.2013] ).By pleading guilty, defendant forfeited review of the merits of his contention regarding the audibility of certain evidence (seePeople v. Dunkins,231 A.D.2d 587, 588, 647 N.Y.S.2d 107[2d Dept.1996], lv denied89 N.Y.2d 863, 653 N.Y.S.2d 286, 675 N.E.2d 1239[1996];see alsoPeople v. Alvarado,103 A.D.3d 1101, 1101, 958 N.Y.S.2d 554[4th Dept.2013], lv denied21 N.Y.3d 910, 966 N.Y.S.2d 362, 988 N.E.2d 891[2013] ).

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
