THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent v. JOHN WHALEY, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant has failed to preserve his challenge to the procedures utilized to adjudicate him a second felony offender. In any event, under all of the circumstances of this case, any error including, inter alia, the court's failure to articulate a finding that the defendant was a second felony offender, was harmless. Notably, the defendant was made aware of the predicate felony offense, he admitted it, and he evinced no intent, then or now, to controvert it. Moreover, he received the sentence for which he bargained ( see People v Bouyea, 64 NY2d 1140; People v Hickman, 276 AD2d 563, 564).

The claim raised in point 1 of the defendant's brief is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, is without merit ( see People v Baumann Sons Buses, Inc., 6 NY3d 404, 408 [2006]; People v Mahboubian, 74 NY2d 174, 193 n 3 [1989]; People v Mackey, 49 NY2d 274, 280). The claim raised in point two of the defendant's brief is academic, unpreserved for appellate review, and was forfeited by his plea of guilty ( see People v Hansen, 95 NY2d 227, 230-231; People v Iannone, 45 NY2d 589, 597-598; People v Skya, 43 AD3d 1190; People v Lugo, 256 AD2d 16). The claims raised in points 3 and 4 of the defendant's brief are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit ( see CPL 470.05; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666; People v Weatherly, 246 AD2d 340, 340-341; People v Cooper, 241 AD2d 553; cf. People v Brown, 17 AD3d 869, 870).
