This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports. Decided on April 28, 2021 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department CHERYL E. CHAMBERS, J.P. ROBERT J. MILLER COLLEEN D. DUFFY HECTOR D. LASALLE PAUL WOOTEN, JJ. 2019-05199 2019-05200 (Ind. No. 2225A/17, S.C.I. No. 1308/18) [*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent, v Maurice Blakey, appellant. Mark Diamond, New York, NY, for appellant. Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Edward A. Bannan of counsel), for respondent. DECISION & ORDER Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Suffolk County (John B. Collins, J.), both rendered September 26, 2018, as amended October 10, 2018, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 2225A/2017, and attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 1308/2018, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. ORDERED that the judgments, as amended, are affirmed. The defendant's contention that his pleas of guilty were not entered into knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently is unpreserved for appellate review since the defendant failed to move to withdraw his pleas or otherwise raise the issue before the County Court (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665; People v Xajapajcuc, 191 AD3d 811; People v Currier, 191 AD3d 695). In any event, this contention is without merit, as the record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered into the negotiated pleas of guilty (see People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780). CHAMBERS, J.P., MILLER, DUFFY, LASALLE and WOOTEN, JJ., concur. ENTER: Aprilanne Agostino Clerk of the Court
