277 A.D.2d 1029 715 N.Y.S.2d 350

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Robert Coutts, Appellant.

[715 NYS2d 350]

—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that County Court erred in failing to afford him an opportunity to withdraw his plea before imposing a greater sentence than agreed to at the time of the plea. Before sentencing the court learned that defendant was a second felony offender, so the promised sentence of 2 to 4 years’ incarceration was not permitted for assault in the second degree, a class D violent felony. The court sentenced defendant to a determinate term of three years on each assault count, the minimum sentence for a second felony offense that is a class D violent felony offense (see, Penal Law § 70.06 [6] [c]). Defendant’s contention is not preserved for our review and we decline to exercise our power to review it as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15 [6] [a]; People v Luksch, 265 AD2d 895, lv denied 94 NY2d 825). (Appeal from Judgment of Cayuga County Court, Contiguglia, J. — Assault, 2nd Degree.) Present — Pine, J. P., Hayes, Wisner, Kehoe and Lawton, JJ.
