—[*1] Michael C. Green, District Attorney, Rochester (Geoffrey Kaeuper of counsel), forrespondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (John R. Schwartz, A.J.), renderedAugust 7, 2006. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sexualact in the first degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, ofcriminal sexual act in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.50 [1]), defendant contends thatCounty Court erred in refusing to suppress the results of testing or analysis of his bodily fluids,obtained through an oral swab. Although the People are incorrect in asserting that defendantfailed to preserve his contention for our review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; cf. People vRogers, 277 AD2d 876 [2000], lv denied 96 NY2d 834 [2001]; People vJamison, 219 AD2d 853 [1995], lv denied 87 NY2d 974, 88 NY2d 966 [1996]), wenevertheless conclude that defendant's contention lacks merit because defendant's consent to theoral swab was voluntarily given (see People v Gonzalez, 39 NY2d 122, 128 [1976]; People v Hall, 35 AD3d 1171[2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 923 [2007]; People v Caldwell, 221 AD2d 972 [1995],lv denied 87 NY2d 920 [1996]).
Defendant further contends that the court should have granted his motion to withdraw hisplea based on his protestations of innocence and his assertion that the plea was not knowing,voluntary and intelligent. We reject that contention. The record establishes that defendant's pleawas knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v Spikes, 28 AD3d 1101, 1102 [2006], lv denied7 NY3d 818 [2006]; People v Murray, 207 AD2d 999 [1994], lv denied 84NY2d 1014 [1994]), and defendant did not submit any new evidence to substantiate hisprotestations of innocence (see People vBaret, 11 NY3d 31, 33-34 [2008]; People v Kimmons, 39 AD3d 1180 [2007]; People v Klein, 11 AD3d 959[2004]). Thus, contrary to defendant's contention, the court did not err in summarily denying hismotion, and the court had no duty to conduct an inquiry to determine whether the plea wasknowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666[1988]).
