No. 232 SSM 22

[*1]The People & c., Respondent,

v

Tyrone Davis, Appellant.

Submitted by Steven A. Feldman, for appellant.

Submitted by Thomas Constant, for respondent.

MEMORANDUM:

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Defendant failed to bring a motion to withdraw his plea under CPL 220.60 (3) or a motion to vacate the judgment of conviction pursuant to CPL 440.10. Nor did his factual [*2]recitation negate the intent element of the crime to which he pleaded guilty. His plea therefore does not qualify for the "rare case" exception to the preservation requirement under People v Lopez (71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]). Consequently, defendant's challenge to the factual sufficiency of his allocution "was properly rejected by the Appellate Division and its order upholding the plea and conviction should be affirmed" (People v Toxey , 86 NY2d 725, 726 [1995]).
