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

[*1]

Salvatore C. Adamo, New York, N.Y., 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 (Efman, J.),rendered January 25, 2011, convicting him of burglary in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty,and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligentlyentered, and that he was not informed, at the time he entered his plea, of the specific amount ofrestitution that he would have to pay. Although these contentions survive the defendant'sotherwise valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Alonzo, 90 AD3d 1065 [2011]; People v Isaacs, 71 AD3d 1161[2010]), they are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 220.60 [3]; 470.05 [2];People v Toxey, 86 NY2d 725, 726 [1995]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665[1988]; People v Bunn, 79 AD3d1143 [2010]). With respect to the defendant's contention concerning restitution, at the pleaproceeding, the defendant was informed that his sentence would include restitution, the amountof which would be determined by the probation department, and, at the outset of the sentencingproceeding, he was made aware of the specific amount of restitution to be imposed. Since thedefendant did not move to withdraw his plea of guilty or object before sentence was imposed, hefailed to preserve for appellate review his contention that no specific amount of restitution wasincluded in the terms of his plea agreement (see People v Murray, 15 NY3d 725, 726-727 [2010]). In any event,the defendant's contentions are without merit. Dillon, J.P., Hall, Roman and Cohen, JJ., concur.
