The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Patrick R. Ashley, Appellant.
Decided January 6, 2011
APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
D.J. & J.A. Cirando, Syracuse (John A. Cirando of counsel), for appellant.
Derek P. Champagne, District Attorney, Malone (Jennifer M. Hollis of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Defendant's challenge to his adjudication as a second violent felony offender and the sentence that was originally imposed is moot because County Court resentenced him as a first felony offender in a postjudgment CPL 440.20 proceeding that is not a subject of this appeal. Defendant failed to preserve his argument that the guilty plea became involuntary after he was subsequently resentenced for a prior, unrelated criminal offense. Defendant's remaining contentions lack merit.
Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith and Jones concur; Judge Pigott taking no part.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed in a memorandum.
