THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PATRICK KELLY, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his plea of guilty was not voluntary or knowing is unpreserved for appellate review, since he did not move to withdraw his plea or to vacate the judgment on that ground ( see People v Toxey, 86 NY2d 725; People v Fecu, 38 AD3d 565; People v Huchital, 22 AD3d 681). The narrow exception to the preservation rule ( see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662) is inapplicable here since the defendant unequivocally admitted his guilt at the plea allocution and made no statement casting doubt upon his guilt or otherwise calling into question the voluntariness of the plea ( see People v Smith, 43 AD3d 474; People v Sandson, 6 AD3d 632). The statement attributed to the defendant in the presentence report did not obligate the court to conduct a sua sponte inquiry into the basis for the plea ( see People v Jones, 41 AD3d 509, 510; People v Bonilla, 299 AD2d 934, 935; People v Pantoja, 281 AD2d 245, 246).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
