DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Raymond L. Rodriguez, J.), rendered June 23, 2023, adjudicating him a youthful offender, upon his plea of guilty to criminal possession of a firearm, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions that his conviction of criminal possession of a firearm is unconstitutional are unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant failed to raise those constitutional challenges before the Supreme Court (see People v David, 41 NY3d 90, 96; People v Cabrera, 41 NY3d 35, 42), and we decline to reach them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.
In light of our determination, the defendant's remaining contention need not be reached.
DUFFY, J.P., WARHIT, VENTURA and OTTLEY, JJ., concur.
