v
Mouhammad Razzaq, appellant.
Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Hannah Kon of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Gamaliel Marrero, and Andrew S. Ayala of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Esther Morgenstern, J.), rendered May 16, 2017, convicting him of criminal contempt in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea of guilty was not voluntary is unpreserved for appellate review, since he did not move to vacate his plea or otherwise raise the issue at an appropriate juncture before the Supreme Court (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665). In any event, the record as a whole reveals that the plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made (see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543).
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel is without merit (see People v Caban, 5 NY3d 143, 152).
IANNACCI, J.P., MILLER, MALTESE and FORD, JJ., concur.
