SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
             Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department

982
KA 13-01585
PRESENT: SCUDDER, P.J., PERADOTTO, CARNI, AND VALENTINO, JJ.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

                     V                               MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

BARRY WYZYKOWSKI, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

ERICKSON WEBB SCOLTON & HAJDU, LAKEWOOD (LYLE T. HAJDU OF COUNSEL),
FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

FRANK A. SEDITA, III, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (MATTHEW B. POWERS OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

     Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (John L.
Michalski, A.J.), rendered July 25, 2008. The judgment convicted
defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sexual act in the
first degree.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is
unanimously affirmed.

     Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him
upon his plea of guilty of criminal sexual act in the first degree
(Penal Law § 130.50 [4]). To the extent that defendant’s contention
that he was denied effective assistance of counsel at sentencing
survives his guilty plea, we conclude that it lacks merit (see People
v LaCroce, 83 AD3d 1388, 1388, lv denied 17 NY3d 807). Defendant
failed to preserve for our review his contention that Supreme Court
erred in failing to recuse itself (see People v Prado, 4 NY3d 725,
726, rearg denied 4 NY3d 795; People v Dewiel, 100 AD3d 1524, 1525, lv
denied 20 NY3d 1010). In any event, that contention is without merit
(see generally People v Glynn, 21 NY3d 614, 618; People v Moreno, 70
NY2d 403, 405-406; People v Williams, 57 AD3d 1440, 1441, lv denied 12
NY3d 789).
