Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea ofguilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree (Penal Law§ 220.09 [1]). Defendant's contention regarding the voluntariness of his plea is notpreserved for our review because he did not move to withdraw his plea or to vacate thejudgment of conviction on that ground (see People v Rosado, 70 AD3d 1315, 1316 [2010], lvdenied 14 NY3d 892 [2010]). In any event, the record demonstrates that defendant'splea was knowing, voluntary and intelligent (see People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780, 781-782 [2005]).Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni, Valentino and Whalen, JJ.
