People v. Flake
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Byrne, J.), rendered February 8, 1996, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends, inter alia, that the New York State Troopers unlawfully stopped his car, and that all evidence which was obtained as a result of the improper stop should therefore be suppressed. However, by pleading guilty prior to the conclusion of the suppression hearing, the defendant forfeited his right to appellate review of these issues (see, People v Fernandez, 67 NY2d 686; People v Ramos, 232 AD2d 433; People v Britton, 208 AD2d 761; People v Navedo, 137 AD2d 726).
