PEOPLE v. TAVARES

Ordered that the amended judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claim regarding the voluntariness of his admission to a violation of probation is not preserved for appellate review (see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). In any event, the record establishes that defendant knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty to a violation of probation (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9), and the proceedings were in substantial conformity with the requirements of CPL 410.70. Mangano, P.J., Rosenblatt, Lawrence, Copertino and Joy, JJ., concur.
