SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Shulman, P.J., Ling-Cohan, Edmead, JJ.
570750/17

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Armando Cruz, Defendant-Appellant.


Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Richard Ross, J.H.O.), rendered November 17, 2017, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of violating Public Health Law § 229, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Richard Ross, J.H.O.), rendered November 17, 2017, affirmed. Our review of the record indicates that defendant's guilty plea to a violation, in exchange for a $10 fine, was entered knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently with the aid of counsel, and after the court sufficiently advised defendant of the constitutional rights he would be giving up by pleading guilty (see People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375 [2015]; People v Sougou, 26 NY3d 1052 [2015]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
