Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ronin Scott, Appellant.
[954 NYS2d 629]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), rendered September 27, 2011, convicting him of assault in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions that his plea of guilty was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent because the allocution was factually insufficient and that the court failed to specifically enumerate all of the rights to which he was entitled are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 220.60 [3]; 470.05 [2]; People v Toxey, 86 NY2d 725, 726 [1995]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665 [1988]; People v Henson, 96 AD3d 1076, 1077 [2012]; People v Bunn, 79 AD3d 1143 [2010]). While there is an exception to the preservation requirement when a defendant's recitation of the facts negates an essential element of the crime, casts significant doubt on his guilt, or otherwise calls into question the voluntariness of the plea (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d at 666), this exception does not apply here because the defendant's plea allocution did not negate an essential element of assault in the third degree, cast significant doubt on his guilt, or call into question the voluntariness of the plea (see People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780, 781 [2005]; People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543 [1993]; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 18 [1983]; People v Nixon, 21 NY2d 338, 353 [1967], cert denied sub nom. Robinson v New York, 393 US 1067 [1969]). Angiolillo, J.E, Balkin, Austin and Miller, JJ., concur.
