 The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Keyshawn Waymer, Appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Joshua M. Levine of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Jean M. Joyce, and Ann Bordley of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, (Phyllis Chu, J.), rendered January 26, 2023, convicting him of criminal possession of a firearm, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the offense to which he entered a plea of guilty was rendered unconstitutional by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v Bruen (597 US 1 [2022]) is unpreserved for appellate review, since he failed to raise a constitutional challenge before the Supreme Court (see People v Cabrera, 41 NY3d 35, 42-51 [2023]; People v Chase, 223 AD3d 913, 913 [2024]). We decline to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction to consider his contention (see CPL 470.15 [3] [c]; People v Guzman, 227 AD3d 1107, 1108 [2024]; People v Johnson, 225 AD3d 626, 627 [2024]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Brathwaite Nelson, J.P., Ford, Wan and Love, JJ., concur.
