    KA 14-01045
    PRESENT: CARNI, J.P., LINDLEY, DEJOSEPH, CURRAN, AND TROUTMAN, JJ.
    THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
    V                              MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
    MARK HAWKINS, ALSO KNOWN AS MARCUS COLEMAN,
    DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
    THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (SHERRY A. CHASE OF
    COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
    MICHAEL J. FLAHERTY, JR., ACTING DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (DANIEL J.
    PUNCH OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.
    Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County
    (Christopher J. Burns, J.), rendered May 27, 2014. The judgment
    convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession
    of a weapon in the third degree.
    It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is
    unanimously affirmed.
    Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him
    upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the
    third degree (Penal Law § 265.02 [3]). Defendant failed to preserve
    for our review his challenge to Supreme Court’s alleged enhancement of
    his sentence at the time of sentencing inasmuch as defendant did not
    object to the alleged enhanced sentence or move to withdraw his guilty
    plea (see People v Viele, 124 AD3d 1222, 1223). We decline to
    exercise our power to review defendant’s contention as a matter of
    discretion in the interest of justice (see CPL 470.15 [3] [c]). We
    reject defendant’s contention that his sentence is unduly harsh and
    severe.
