PEOPLE v. ROGERS (2007)

Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered July 31, 2006, revoking a sentence of probation previously imposed by the same court upon a finding that he violated a condition thereof, upon his admission, and imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon his previous conviction of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.

ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention regarding the sufficiency of the factual allocution of his admission to a violation of probation is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Carden, 27 A.D.3d 573, 810 N.Y.S.2d 365;  People v. Padilla, 18 A.D.3d 578, 794 N.Y.S.2d 666;  People v. Tavares, 197 A.D.2d 552, 604 N.Y.S.2d 739).   The rare case exception to the preservation requirement is not applicable here since the factual recitation did not clearly cast significant doubt upon the defendant's guilt or call into question the voluntariness of the admission (see People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5;  People v. Rizzo, 38 A.D.3d 571, 832 N.Y.S.2d 586;  People v. Nash, 38 A.D.3d 684, 832 N.Y.S.2d 593).

Furthermore, the defendant's contention that the County Court improvidently exercised its discretion in resentencing him on the violation of probation without obtaining an updated presentence report is not preserved for appellate review (see People v. Gambichler, 25 A.D.3d 722, 807 N.Y.S.2d 310;  People v. Freeman, 2 A.D.3d 648, 649, 768 N.Y.S.2d 344;  People v. Segar, 295 A.D.2d 628, 629, 744 N.Y.S.2d 869).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
