| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Daniel Statini, Appellant. |
Jeanette Madera, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., for appellant.
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Bridget RahillySteller of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County(Greller, J.), rendered April 16, 2013, convicting him of criminal possession of a weaponin the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea of guilty was invalid is not preserved forappellate review, since he failed to raise this issue prior to sentencing (see People v Jackson, 114AD3d 807 [2014]; People vCantoni, 112 AD3d 733 [2013]). In any event, the record of the pleaproceedings fully demonstrates that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly,voluntarily, and intelligently entered (see People v Ross, 113 AD3d 877 [2014]; People v Wolven, 105 AD3d782 [2013]).
Contrary to the defendant's contention, he received meaningful representation fromcounsel throughout the proceedings (see generally People v Benevento, 91 NY2d708 [1998]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 [1981]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80[1982]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, inany event, without merit. Mastro, J.P., Leventhal, Chambers and Austin, JJ., concur.
