Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jay N. Poler, Appellant. [MAJORITY] Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea, made long after sentencing, must be considered as a motion to set aside the conviction pursuant to CPL 440.10 and it is not appealable as of right. Thus, we do not consider defendant’s contention that the court’s denial of his motion was an abuse of discretion. Defendant’s contention that the Judge’s communication with the victim was ex parte and without defendant’s consent is not supported by the record. Moreover, defendant has failed to raise this issue for our review as a matter of law by objecting either at sentencing or at resentencing or by moving to set aside the sentence.
