The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Gary Lewis, Appellant.
[700 NYS2d 705]

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Micki Scherer, J.), rendered May 21, 1997, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 8 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s guilty plea forecloses review of his contention that he was denied his right to testify before the Grand Jury (People v Harrison, 249 AD2d 113 ) and his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence (People v Washington, 262 AD2d 209 , lv denied 93 NY2d 1006 ), which claims, in any event, are without merit.

We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Williams, Rubin, Buckley and Friedman, JJ.
