DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his contention regarding the validity of his plea as he did not move to withdraw his plea of guilty or to vacate the judgment of conviction (see, People v. Gilchrist, 280 A.D.2d 488; People v. Naglieri, 262 A.D.2d 426), and we decline to reach the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.
The defendant's contention that his sentence was excessive is without merit (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816).
