| The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jakwan Curry, Appellant. (Appeal No. 1.) |
Julie Cianca, Public Defender, Rochester (Drew R. Dubrin of counsel), for defendant-appellant.
Sandra Doorley, District Attorney, Rochester (Martin P. McCarthy, II, of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Thomas E. Moran, J.), rendered October 18, 2021. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: In appeal No. 1, defendant appeals from a judgment that convicted him, following his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (Penal Law § 265.03 [3]). In appeal No. 2, defendant appeals from a separate judgment that convicted him, following his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (id.).
Defendant's sole contention in each appeal—that Penal Law § 265.03 (3) is unconstitutional in light of the United States Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v Bruen (597 US 1 [2022])—is unpreserved for our review (see People v Bell, 229 AD3d 1178, 1179 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 1018 [2024]; People v Sapp, 225 AD3d 1280, 1280 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 41 NY3d 1020 [2024]; People v Williams, 224 AD3d 1355, 1355 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 941 [2024]; see generally People v Cabrera, 41 NY3d 35, 39, 42-47 [2023]).
