Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Ellen M. Coin, J.), rendered March 6, 2003, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of menacing in the second degree and imposing sentence.

PER CURIAM:

Judgment of conviction (Ellen M. Coin, J.), rendered March 6, 2003, affirmed.

Defendant's present challenge to the adequacy of his plea allocution is not preserved for appellate review since he failed to move to withdraw his plea or vacate the judgment of conviction (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665 [1988]), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review the claim, we would find it to be without merit. There is no "uniform mandatory catechism of pleadings defendants," only that it be demonstrable that the plea was voluntary, knowing and intelligent (see People v Nixon, 21 NY2d 338, 353 [1967], cert denied sum nom. Robinson v New York, 393 US 1067 [1969]), which is shown by a review of the minutes herein.
This constitutes the decision and order of the court.
