SCI v. Jacoboi Feliz, Defendant–Appellant. (2018)

_

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura A. Ward, J.), rendered January 29, 2007, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of one year, and judgment, same court (Michael R. Ambrecht, J. at plea;  Laura A. Ward, J. at sentencing), rendered January 29, 2007, as amended February 9, 2007, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of bail jumping in the second degree, and sentencing him to a concurrent term of one year, unanimously affirmed.

Because defendant did not move to withdraw his guilty pleas, and because none of the recognized exceptions to the preservation requirement applies (see People v. Pastor, 28 NY3d 1089 [2016];  People v. Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 381–382 [2015];  People v. Peque, 22 NY3d 168, 182–183 [2013] ), defendant did not preserve any of his challenges to the voluntariness of his pleas, and we decline to review them in the interest of justice.  As an alternative holding, we conclude that defendant has not established that he is entitled to have his pleas vacated on any of the grounds he asserts.
