Lead Opinion
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of burglary in the third degree (Penal Law § 140.20), grand larceny in the third degree (§ 155.35 [1]), and possession of burglar’s tools (§ 140.35), defendant contends that his plea was not voluntarily and knowingly entered. Defendant’s contention is actually a challenge to the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution and is not preserved for our review inasmuch as he did not move to withdraw his plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction on that ground (see People v Lopez,
Defendant further contends that the court erred in ordering him to pay restitution without conducting a hearing. Defendant’s contention “is not properly before this Court for review because [defendant] did not request a hearing to determine the [proper amount of restitution] or otherwise challenge the amount of the restitution order during the sentencing proceeding” (People v Horne,
Defendant also failed to preserve for our review his contention that the court erred in imposing a collection surcharge of 10% of the amount of restitution {see CPL 470.05 [2]). A court must impose a surcharge of 5% of the amount of restitution, but an additional surcharge of up to 5% is permitted “[u]pon the filing of an affidavit of the official or organization designated
We reject defendant’s contention that the consecutive sentences imposed on his felony convictions are illegal. “ [Sentences imposed for two or more offenses may not run consecutively: (1) where a single act constitutes two offenses, or (2) where a single act constitutes one of the offenses and a material element of the other” (People v Laureano,
Concurrence Opinion
(concurring). We concur inasmuch as we respectfully disagree with the conclusion of the majority that defendant was required to preserve for our review his contention that the Ontario County Probation Department affidavit was inadequate to support an enhanced surcharge of 10% of the entire amount of restitution that he was ordered to pay as part of the sentence (see Penal Law § 60.27 [8]). In our view, that contention does not require preservation because “ ‘[a] defendant cannot be deemed to have waived his right to be sentenced as provided by law’ ” (People v Gahrey M.O.,
