People v. Giangrasso
Opinion of the Court
— Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (O’Dwyer, J.), rendered September 9, 1983, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Judgment affirmed.
In view of the fact that defendant was fully advised of his Miranda rights prior to giving his statement to the police at the precinct, the trial court did not err in refusing to suppress defendant’s statement. On this point, we find no merit to defendant’s contention that the waiver of his Miranda rights was
Defendant’s challenge to the sufficiency of his plea allocution was not preserved for appellate review since he failed to move in the court of first instance to withdraw his plea or vacate the judgment (People v Pellegrino, 60 NY2d 636; People v Moore, 91 AD2d 1050). In any event, the record clearly indicates that defendant was fully advised of his rights prior to the entering of his guilty plea and thus his plea will not be vacated (People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9; People v Nixon, 21 NY2d 338, cert denied sub nom. Robinson v New York, 393 US 1067).
Finally, the imposed sentence of an indeterminate prison term of IV2 to 4V2 years, which was bargained for by defendant, was not harsh or excessive and thus will not be disturbed on appeal (People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80; People v Kazepis, 101 AD2d 816). Gibbons, J. P., Weinstein, Brown and Fiber, JJ., concur.
