The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Lamar MCGILL, appellant.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Martin P. Murphy, J., at plea; Matthew Sciarrino, Jr., J., at sentence), rendered September 2, 2022, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree and petit larceny, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his sentence as a second violent felony offender (see Penal Law § 70.04) is unconstitutional is unpreserved for appellate review, as the defendant failed to raise a constitutional challenge or otherwise contest his criminal history, including the relevant periods of incarceration, before the Supreme Court (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Hernandez, 43 NY3d 591, 597; People v. Munoz, 237 AD3d 1110, 1111). We decline to review it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see People v. Munoz, 237 AD3d at 1111; People v. Bynum, 225 AD3d 781, 781).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The parties' remaining contentions need not be addressed in light of the foregoing.
DUFFY, J.P., WOOTEN, HOM and GOLDBERG VELAZQUEZ, JJ., concur.
