PEOPLE, res, v. JOSE DIAZ, def-ap

11226. PEOPLE, res, v. JOSE DIAZ, def-ap — Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Laura Boyd of counsel), for ap — Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Bari L. Kamlet of counsel), for res — Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (William McGuire, J.), rendered March 11, 2011, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge and a $500 fine, unanimously affirmed.

Since defendant never moved to withdraw his guilty plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction, his challenge to the voluntariness of his plea is unpreserved, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice (see People v. Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]). The narrow exception to the preservation rule is not applicable because nothing in the plea allocution casts doubt on defendant’s guilt (see id.). As an alternative holding, we find, based on all the relevant circumstances, that defendant entered into his plea knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently (see People v. Nyarko, 93 AD3d 555 [1st Dept 2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 965 [2012]).
