Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
While the defendant has raised some doubt as to the substantive sufficiency of his plea of guilty to robbery in the first degree as charged in indictment No. 437/85, he failed to preserve this issue for appellate review by not moving in the court of first instance to withdraw his plea (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Buchicchio, 116 A.D.2d 729, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 940). A reversal in the interest of justice is not warranted. The defendant, with the advice of his counsel, freely negotiated the plea in that case as part of the plea bargain agreement disposing of four separate indictments. The plea bargain enabled him to avoid the possible imposition of a much longer period of incarceration (see, People v Soto, 111 A.D.2d 836; People v Nasti, 90 A.D.2d 507; People v Ebron, 87 A.D.2d 653). There is no indication that the defendant's pleas were not entered into knowingly and voluntarily. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Rubin, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
