Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Schenectady County (Tomlinson, J.), rendered October 12, 2001, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of burglary in the third degree.
Defendant was charged with burglary in the third degree after he broke into a convenience store in the City and County of Schenectady, taking cigarettes and cash. He ultimately pleaded guilty to that charge and waived his right to appeal. In accordance with the plea agreement, he was sentenced as a second felony offender to a prison term of 3x/2 to 7 years and was ordered to pay restitution. Defendant now appeals.
Defendant initially asserts that his guilty plea was not knowing, voluntary or intelligent because it was induced by the false representation that he would be eligible to participate in a drug treatment program as an alternative to incarceration. The record discloses that while County Court offered defendant the opportunity to make a motion to withdraw his plea based upon this alleged misrepresentation, he declined to do so and did not move to set aside the judgment of conviction. Therefore, his challenge to the voluntariness of the plea is not preserved for our review (see People v King,
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
