The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
DarylCohen, Appellant.

[*1]Steven A. Feldman, Uniondale, N.Y. (Arza Feldman of counsel), for appellant.

Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Thomas Constant of counsel), forrespondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Braslow, J.),rendered July 28, 2009, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in thesecond degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his plea was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent becausethe County Court did not advise him when he pleaded guilty of the specific term of postreleasesupervision is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Murray, 15 NY3d 725, 726-727 [2010]; People v Davis, 79 AD3d 1267[2010]), and we decline to reach the contention in the exercise of our interest of justicejurisdiction.

The defendant received the sentence of imprisonment for which he bargained, and therefore,he has no basis to complain that the sentence imposed was excessive (see People v Gheradi, 68 AD3d892, 893 [2009]). Dillon, J.P., Dickerson, Hall and Roman, JJ., concur.
