Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Rafael DeLeon, Also Known as Felo, Appellant.
[751 NYS2d 910]

Opinion:
—Appeal from a judgment of Onondaga County Court (Aloi, J.), entered March 6, 2001, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: The record establishes that defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his right to appeal as part of the plea agreement. Although "[t]he contention that defendant did not voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently enter his plea survives his waiver of the right to appeal, defendant failed to preserve that contention for our review by moving to withdraw his plea or vacate the judgment of convic tion" (People v DeJesus, 248 AD2d 1023, 1023, lv denied 92 NY2d 878; see People v Vallejo, 261 AD2d 962, lv denied 93 NY2d 1029), and the "plea allocution does not qualify for the narrow, 'rare case' exception to the preservation doctrine" (People v Toxey, 86 NY2d 725, 726, rearg denied 86 NY2d 839, quoting People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666).
