People v. Douglas

Dec 11, 2007
Versions:46 A.D.3d 698
847 N.Y.S.2d 232

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

By pleading guilty, the defendant forfeited his right to claim that he was deprived of a speedy trial under CPL 30.30 (see People v O‘Brien, 56 NY2d 1009, 1010 [1982]). He could not validly reserve his right to obtain appellate review of his statutory speedy trial claim merely by obtaining the consent of the prosecutor and the approval of the court at the time his plea was entered (id.). The defendant‘s contention that his plea was involuntary is not preserved for appellate review since the defendant failed to move to withdraw his plea on this ground (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665 [1988]; People v Cosby, 31 AD3d 660 [2006]). In any event, his contention is without merit.

Prudenti, P.J., Mastro, Santucci and Lifson, JJ., concur.
