Appellate Division, Second Department
As corrected through Wednesday, April 30, 2014


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

[*1]Neal D. Futerfas, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Joan H. McCarthy ofcounsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County(Greller, J.), rendered April 25, 2012, convicting him of failure to register or verify as asex offender, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the County Court failed to conduct a proper inquiryinto his post-plea arrest before imposing an enhanced sentence is unpreserved forappellate review (see People v Miles, 268 AD2d 489 [2000]). In any event, thecourt's inquiry was proper (see generally People v Outley, 80 NY2d 702, 713[1993]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80,85 [1982]). Rivera, J.P., Dickerson, Cohen, Hinds-Radix and Maltese, JJ., concur.
