THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. FREDERICK O'NEIL, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

The defendant did not assert his objections to the adequacy of the plea allocution in the court of first instance and therefore failed, as a matter of law, to preserve his claim for appellate review ( see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Adams, 46 N.Y.2d 1047; People v. Santiago, 100 A.D.2d 857). In any event, the court properly accepted defendant's guilty plea to burglary in the third degree, as the record discloses that his decision to plead guilty was the result of an informed and voluntary decision ( People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9).

Furthermore, defendant's contention that the sentence was unduly harsh and excessive is without merit. The sentence he received was well within both the statutory and discretionary limits for the offense committed. Since he received the sentence which he bargained for in entering the plea, defendant cannot now be heard to complain ( People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment appealed from. Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, Bracken and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
