Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 21, 1994
209 A.D.2d 635; 619 N.Y.S.2d 664
People v. Fletcher

Opinion of the Court

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Byrne, J.), rendered January 6, 1994, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s claim that the County Court failed to conduct a hearing before imposing restitution is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]) and we decline to reach it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Appellate challenges to the procedures utilized in determining and imposing sentence are forfeited if they are not raised in a timely manner before the trial court (see, People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273, 281; People v De Vito, 192 AD2d 671).

We have examined the defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80). Thompson, J. P., Miller, O’Brien, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
