People v. Montanus

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: When defendant entered a plea of guilty, he forfeited his right to claim that he was deprived of a speedy trial pursuant to CPL 30.30 (People v Suarez, 55 NY2d 940 ; People v Friscia, 51 NY2d 845 ). Defendant’s attempt to preserve that issue for review by obtaining the consent of the District Attorney and the approval of the court is of no avail (see People v O’Brien, 56 NY2d 1009 , 1010; People v Howe, 56 NY2d 622 ). Our determination, however, is without prejudice to a postjudgment application by defendant, if he be so advised, challenging the knowing nature of his guilty plea (see People v O’Brien, 84 AD2d 567 , 568, affd 56 NY2d 1009 , supra).
