Defendant's contention that his pleas were not knowingly and intelligently entered has not been preserved for review, as a matter of law, since he did not move to withdraw the pleas or to vacate the judgment of conviction (People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 665), and we decline to reach it in the interest of justice. If we were to consider this contention, we would find that those pleas were properly entered, in view of, inter alia, defendant's colloquy with Criminal Term concerning the effect of those pleas on his status as a felony offender, and his familiarity with the criminal justice system, as a result of his extensive criminal record (see, People v. Montford, 134 A.D.2d 207, 208, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1009).
We have considered defendant's remaining contention and find it without merit.
