HEADNOTES


Crimes - Possession of Weapon - Constitutional Challenge to Firearm Licensing Scheme

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Heidi C. Cesare, J.), rendered September 20, 2022, 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 New York's firearm licensing scheme 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]) 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 Wilson, 222 AD3d 1006, 1009 [2023]). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit (see People v Johnson, — NY3d &mdash, &mdash, 2025 NY Slip Op 06528, *2 [2025]; People v Emmanuel D., 238 AD3d 1068, 1070 [2025]; People v Cooper, 237 AD3d 844, 846 [2025]). Iannacci, J.P., Brathwaite Nelson, Wooten and Taylor, JJ., concur.
