THE PEOPLE, ETC., RESPONDENT, v. ROBERT PIKE, APPELLANT. (IND. NO. 10066/95).

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that he complied with the conditions of his plea agreement, and that the court therefore erred in imposing a sentence of imprisonment without affording him an opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea. However, since the defendant did not raise this claim at sentencing or seek to withdraw his plea, the issue is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v. Walters, 273 A.D.2d 418 [2d Dept., June 19, 2000]; People v. Bratt, 261 A.D.2d 254; People v. Gayle, 224 A.D.2d 710; People v. Thompson, 193 A.D.2d 841). In any event, contrary to the defendant's contention, the record demonstrates that he violated a key term of the plea agreement by failing to successfully complete a drug rehabilitation program. Accordingly, the court was no longer bound by its original promise to dismiss the indictment (see, People v. Walters, supra; People v. Bratt, supra; People v. Gayle, supra; People v. Munize, 251 A.D.2d 429)

Since the defendant was advised of the sentence he would receive if he failed to comply with the conditions of the plea agreement, his general waiver of his right to appeal encompasses his claim that the enhanced sentence imposed by the court was excessive (see, People v. Monk, 270 A.D.2d 433; People v. Miles, 268 A.D.2d 489).
