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

[*1]Michael A. Fiechter, Bellmore, N.Y., for appellant.

Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Robert A. Schwartz and Sarah S.Rabinowitz of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Donnino, J.),rendered June 30, 2010, convicting him of kidnapping in the second degree, assault in the firstdegree (two counts), and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon his plea ofguilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claims pertaining to the grand jury presentation were forfeited by his plea ofguilty (see People v Crumpler, 70AD3d 1396, 1397 [2010]; People vMartin, 55 AD3d 1236, 1238 [2008]; People v Greeman, 49 AD3d 463, 464 [2008]; People v Winchester, 38 AD3d1336, 1337 [2007]; People v Santiago, 305 AD2d 1109, 1110 [2003]; People vSachs, 280 AD2d 966, 967 [2001]; People v Butler, 198 AD2d 427 [1993];People v Quackenbush, 98 AD2d 875 [1983]). Furthermore, the County Court did notimprovidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea ofguilty (see CPL 220.60 [3]; People v Meyers, 204 AD2d 492 [1994]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982];People v Kazepis, 101 AD2d 816 [1984]).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Florio, J.P., Balkin, Belen andChambers, JJ., concur.
