     Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Mark
H. Dadd, A.J.), entered May 9, 2011 in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR
article 78. The judgment denied the amended petition.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is
unanimously affirmed without costs.

     Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment denying his CPLR
article 78 amended petition seeking review of the determination
calculating his jail time credit. We affirm. Inasmuch as “Penal Law
§ 70.30 (3) draws no distinction between an inmate who is detained in
New York and one who is detained elsewhere, an inmate who has spent
time in federal custody, another state’s custody or even another
country’s custody is entitled to jail time credit so long as, among
other things, the inmate ‘provide[s] a certified record of that
detention’ ” (Matter of Ramos v Goord, 58 AD3d 921, 922, quoting
Matter of Guido v Goord, 1 NY3d 347, 349 n 3). Petitioner has not
produced a certified record of his detention in Costa Rica, and thus
there is no basis to disturb the calculation of petitioner’s jail time
credit (see id.; cf. CPLR 4542). Petitioner’s contention concerning
the impact of CPLR 2101 on the determination herein is without merit
because that statute is inapplicable here, and his remaining
contentions are raised for the first time on appeal and therefore are
not properly before us (see Ciesinski v Town of Aurora, 202 AD2d 984,
985). Finally, we note that our determination of this appeal does not
preclude petitioner from again seeking relief with respect to his jail
                                 -2-                           978

time credit, upon production of the requisite documentation.
