   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Roger S. Hayes, J.), entered on or about October 26, 2007, which denied defendant’s CPL 440.30 (1-a) motion for DNA testing, unanimously affirmed.

Since defendant pleaded guilty, he may not avail himself of the provisions of the statute. Concur— Saxe, J.P., Friedman, DeGrasse, Freedman and Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
