The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Jabbar CAMPBELL, appellant.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hall, J.), rendered January 31, 2005, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's written waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his constitutional challenge to the procedure used to adjudicate him as a persistent violent felony offender (see People v. Ramos, 7 N.Y.3d 737, 819 N.Y.S.2d 853, 853 N.E.2d 222; People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 281, 590 N.Y.S.2d 46, 604 N.E.2d 108). In any event, this issue is unpreserved for appellate review as the defendant failed to raise this challenge at sentencing (see People v. Daniels, 5 N.Y.3d 738, 740, 800 N.Y.S.2d 369, 833 N.E.2d 704, cert. denied 126 U.S. 573, 126 S.Ct. 573, 163 L.Ed.2d 479; People v. Rosen, 96 N.Y.2d 329, 335, 728 N.Y.S.2d 407, 752 N.E.2d 844, cert. denied 534 U.S. 899, 122 S.Ct. 224, 151 L.Ed.2d 160; People v. Singh, 35 A.D.3d 317, 830 N.Y.S.2d 20; People v. Thompson, 33 A.D.3d 825, 823 N.Y.S.2d 112; People v. Rivera, 31 A.D.3d 790, 818 N.Y.S.2d 617).
The defendant's waiver also precludes review of his contention that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel in the context of his adjudication as a persistent violent felony offender inasmuch as the defendant is not claiming that his plea was involuntarily obtained (see People v. Porter, 268 A.D.2d 603, 704 N.Y.S.2d 85).
