HEADNOTES


Crimes - Plea of Guilty - Withdrawal of Plea

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Michael A. Martinelli, J.), rendered April 8, 2019, convicting him of criminal mischief in the fourth degree and resisting arrest, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the validity of his plea of guilty is unpreserved for appellate review because the defendant did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise object to its entry prior to the County Court imposing sentence (see People v Williams, 27 NY3d 212, 214 [2016]; People v Umanzor, 236 AD3d 1069 [2025]). In any event, the record as a whole demonstrates that the defendant entered his plea intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily (see generally People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 382-384 [2015]). Dillon, J.P., Iannacci, Dowling and McCormack, JJ., concur.
