The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jon T. Magliocco,Appellant.

[*1]Joseph T. Jarzembek, Buffalo, for defendant-appellant.

Lawrence Friedman, District Attorney, Batavia (William G. Zickl of counsel), forrespondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Genesee County Court (Robert C. Noonan, J.), rendered July 29,2008. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of unlawful surveillance in the seconddegree.

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his guilty plea of unlawfulsurveillance in the second degree (Penal Law § 250.45 [3] [a]), defendant contends that CountyCourt erred in imposing an enhanced sentence without affording him an opportunity to withdraw hisplea. The record establishes that the court informed defendant during the plea proceeding that it wouldnot be obligated to impose the promised sentence, pending its review of the presentence report, and atsentencing the court informed defendant that it was enhancing the sentence based upon that review. Byfailing to object to the enhanced sentence or to move to vacate his plea, defendant failed to preserve hiscontention for our review (see People vVanDeViver, 56 AD3d 1118 [2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 931 [2009],reconsideration denied 12 NY3d 788 [2009]). In any event, "there was no need for [the court]to afford defendant an opportunity" to withdraw the plea before imposing an enhanced sentenceinasmuch as the court was not bound by the plea promise upon reviewing the presentence report(People v Figgins, 87 NY2d 840, 841 [1995]). We further conclude that the enhancedsentence is not unduly harsh or severe. Present—Martoche, J.P., Lindley, Sconiers, Pine andGorski, JJ.
