THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. NATALE ALBANESE, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the court erred in vacating his prior plea of guilty upon the People's application. By subsequently pleading guilty, the defendant effectively waived his right to appellate review of this issue (see, People v Boyce, 150 A.D.2d 471; People v. Guerrero, 140 A.D.2d 456). Moreover, we do not choose to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction because the defendant negotiated an extremely favorable plea agreement that substantially reduced his sentencing exposure. The court also conducted a detailed inquiry to ensure that the defendant understood his plea was conditioned upon his admitting that he was a predicate felon. The defendant made a voluntary and knowing waiver of his right to controvert the predicate felony statement. Accordingly, the interest of justice would not be served by vacating the plea and reinstating the original plea of guilty. Thompson, J.P., Rubin, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
