Crimes - Appeal - Preservation of Issue for Review - Constitutionality of Criminal Possession of a Firearm

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Phyllis Chu, J.), rendered December 13, 2022, convicting him of criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that Penal Law § 265.01-b (1) is unconstitutional in light of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v Bruen (597 US 1 [2022]), and that the indictment was thus defective, 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 [2023]; People v Thompson, 239 AD3d 774, 774 [2025]). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit. "The Bruen decision had no impact on the constitutionality of New York State's criminal possession of a weapon statutes" (People v Thompson, 239 AD3d at 774-775; see People v Manners, 217 AD3d 683, 686 [2023]). Barros, J.P., Chambers, Christopher and McCormack, JJ., concur.
