Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the court erred by allowing the prosecutor to conduct the plea allocution is not preserved for appellate review since the defendant did not object to this during the plea proceeding, nor did he seek to withdraw his plea prior to sentencing (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). In any event, it is clear that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly and voluntarily entered. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Miller, O'Brien and Ritter, JJ., concur.
