LARA J. GENOVESI, J.P., BARRY E. WARHIT, HELEN VOUTSINAS, PHILLIP HOM, JJ.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Teresa K. Corrigan, J.), both rendered March 8, 2022, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree under Indictment No. 243/18, and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree under Superior Court Information No. 336/19, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court improperly sentenced him, following a delay in sentencing, without obtaining an updated presentence report is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Saunders, 219 AD3d 759; People v. Heine, 122 AD3d 644) and, in any event, without merit (see People v. Kuey, 83 N.Y.2d 278, 282; People v. McGhee, 111 AD3d 961, 961; People v. Watkins, 71 AD3d 799, 799).

GENOVESI, J.P., WARHIT, VOUTSINAS and HOM, JJ., concur.
