[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
vFabian Faulkner, Defendant-Appellant.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Claudia S. Trupp of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Beth Fisch Cohen of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene Goldberg, J.), rendered September 4, 2013, as amended September 13, 2013, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of conspiracy in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of one to three years, unanimously affirmed.
Although this appeal is not technically moot, defendant's sole argument is that his plea should be vacated in the event his Bronx convictions are reversed; that claim is academic because those convictions have been affirmed. Accordingly, there is no basis for reversal.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
