[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vHajahmaa Hylton, appellant.

Patsy Bonanno, White Plains, NY, for appellant, and appellant pro se.
Miriam E. Rocah, District Attorney, White Plains, NY (William C. Milaccio and Jill Oziemblewski of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Susan Cacace, J.), rendered July 31, 2018, convicting him of failure to register and verify as a sex offender (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, his post-plea remarks regarding a prior conviction that gave rise to his sex offender designation did not cast significant doubt upon his guilt of failing to register and verify as a sex offender or otherwise call into question the voluntariness of his plea, and thus, the Supreme Court was not under a duty to inquire further to ensure the plea's validity (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666; People v Colson, 174 AD3d 539, 540; People v Delarosa, 104 AD3d 956, 956).
The defendant's challenge in his pro se supplemental brief to the legality of his sentence for the prior conviction is not properly before this Court. The defendant's remaining contention, raised in his pro se supplemental brief, is without merit.
BARROS, J.P., MALTESE, WOOTEN and WARHIT, JJ., concur.
