The People &c.,
            Respondent,
        v.
Kenneth Stepter, 
            Appellant.
Submitted by Abigail Everett, for appellant.
Submitted by Allen J. Vickey, for respondent.
Submitted by Julie Steiner, for intervenor-respondent
City of New York.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. 
Because the People have conceded that defendant has no
obligation to register as a gun offender pursuant to New York
City's Gun Offender Registration Act based upon the crime for
which he was convicted, defendant's claim that he cannot be

required to register is moot.  In any event, a challenge to gun
offender registration under GORA cannot be raised on direct
appeal from a judgment of conviction and sentence (see People v
Smith, __ NY3d __ [decided today]).
Defendant's remaining argument is unpreserved for our
review (see People v Rosen, 96 NY2d 329, 335 [2001]).
