v
WALTER DENNIS, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (SHERRY A. CHASE OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (MICHAEL J. HILLERY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (M. William Boller, A.J.), rendered September 8, 2017. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree and driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor.
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511 [3] [a] [ii]) and driving while intoxicated (§ 1192 [3]). Defendant's sole contention, a challenge to the legality of the sentence, was rendered moot inasmuch as defendant has served the sentence in its entirety (see People v Dale, 142 AD3d 1287, 1290 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]; People v Balkum, 288 AD2d 910, 911 [4th Dept 2001]). We therefore dismiss the appeal.
