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

[*1]Marianne Karas, Thornwood, N.Y., for appellant.

Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Steven A. Bender and RichardLongworth Hecht of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant from five judgments of the County Court, WestchesterCounty (Colangelo, J.), all rendered April 25, 2011, convicting him of (1) robbery in thesecond degree under superior court information No. 10-01383, (2) robbery in the seconddegree under superior court information No. 10-01384, (3) robbery in the second degreeunder superior court information No. 10-01385, (4) robbery in the second degree undersuperior court information No. 10-01386, and (5) robbery in the second degree undersuperior court information No. 10-01387, upon his pleas of guilty, adjudicating him ayouthful offender, and imposing sentences.

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his pleas of guilty were not knowingly, voluntarily,and intelligently entered is unpreserved for appellate review, since he did not move towithdraw his pleas on this ground prior to the imposition of the sentences (see People v Newson, 106AD3d 839, 840 [2013], lv denied 21 NY3d 1044 [2013]; People v Cohen, 100 AD3d919 [2012]; People vAndrea, 98 AD3d 627 [2012]). In any event, contrary to the defendant'scontention, the record establishes that his pleas were knowingly, voluntarily, andintelligently entered (see People v Garcia, 92 NY2d 869, 870 [1998]; Peoplev Hidalgo, 91 NY2d 733, 736 [1998]).

The sentences imposed were not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80[1982]). Angiolillo, J.P., Hall, Roman and Cohen, JJ., concur.
