,

Appeal from a judgment of the Genesee County Court (Robert C. Noonan, J.), rendered April 5, 2002. The judgment revoked defendant’s probation and imposed a sentence of imprisonment.

It ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant challenges the factual sufficiency and the voluntary, knowing, and intelligent character of his admission of a violation of probation in appeal No. 1 and his plea of guilty to various crimes in appeal No. 2. Those” ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍challenges are unpreserved for our review and lack merit in any event (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665-667 [1988]; People v Brown, 305 AD2d 1068, 1068-1069 [2003], lv denied 100 NY2d 579 [2003]; People v McCorkle, 298 AD2d 848 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 561 [2002]). The further contention of defendant in appeal No. 2 that County Court erred in imposing an enhanced sentence also ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍is not preserved for our review (see People v Parks, 309 AD2d 1172,1173 [2003], lv denied 1 NY3d 577 [2003]; People v Holmes, 306 AD2d 889 [2003], lv denied 100 NY2d 621 [2003]; People v Webb, 299 AD2d 955 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 565 [2002] ). There is no merit to defendant’s challenge to the severity of the sentences in both appeals. We similarly reject the contention of defendant in ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍both appeals, to the extent that it survives the admission and guilty plea and is reviewable on direct appeal and on the record before us (see generally CPL 440.10; People v Jackson, 4 AD3d 773 [2004]; People v Cass, 1 AD3d 1025 [2003]; People v Nicholson, 269 AD 2d 868, 869 [2000], lv denied 95 NY2d 907 [2000]), that defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel (see People ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍v Ford, 86 NY2d 397, 404 [1995]; Brown, 305 AD2d at 1069; People v Nieves, 299 AD2d 888, 889 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 631 [2003] ).
