PEOPLE v. PIRONE

Judgment affirmed and case remitted to the County Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (5).

We find no merit to defendant's contention with respect to the issuance of the eavesdropping warrant. Moreover, defendant by his plea of guilty, forfeited his right to challenge the geographical jurisdiction of Nassau County to prosecute the instant offense ( see, People v Williams, 14 N.Y.2d 568, rearg denied 14 N.Y.2d 689; People v Mattina, 106 A.D.2d 586; People v Amato, 101 A.D.2d 890; People v Ebron, 116 Misc.2d 774). If we were to consider the issue, we would, in any event, find that the record establishes that Nassau County's assertion of jurisdiction was proper (CPL 20.40 [a]; People v Botta, 100 A.D.2d 311). Lazer, J.P., Mangano, Thompson and Rubin, JJ., concur.
