[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vKaliek Goode-Ford, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 16-00585)

Samuel S. Coe, White Plains, NY, for appellant.
David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Andrew R. Kass of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Robert H. Freehill, J.), rendered January 28, 2020, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying, without a hearing, the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. Reviewing the record as a whole, we conclude that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made (see People v Jamison, 197 AD3d 569, 570; People v Meyn, 193 AD3d 1080, 1081). Further, there is no support in the record for the defendant's contention that he lacked the capacity to understand the proceedings against him (see People v Arce, 196 AD3d 696, 697).
The defendant's contention that the County Court should have held a hearing prior to imposing an enhanced sentence is unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant neither requested such a hearing nor moved to withdraw his plea on this ground (see People v Shealy, 195 AD3d 1047, 1048). In any event, the court providently exercised its discretion in imposing the enhanced sentence without a hearing, since the defendant did not deny that he was convicted, upon his plea of guilty, of a postplea crime in violation of the conditions of his plea agreement (see People v Knee, 174 AD3d 646; People v Cousar, 128 AD3d 716, 716-717).
BARROS, J.P., IANNACCI, MILLER and WOOTEN, JJ., concur.
