    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Julio R. Nunez, Appellant.
    [899 NYS2d 925]
   Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered April 18, 2007. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance 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 possession of a controlled substance in the first degree (Penal Law § 220.21 [1]). We reject the contention of defendant that County Court erred in failing to address his requests to proceed pro se. “Defendant never made an unequivocal invocation of his right of self-representation[ ] because each of his requests to proceed pro se was made in the context of a request for substitution of counsel” (People v McClam, 297 AD2d 514, 514 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 537 [2002]; see also People v Caswell, 56 AD3d 1300, 1301-1302 [2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 923 [2009], denied reconsideration 12 NY3d 781 [2009]; see generally People v Gillian, 8 NY3d 85, 88 [2006]).

We conclude that “[defendant forfeited the right to our review of [his further] contention[ ] . . . that the court should have suppressed evidence seized [from his residence] inasmuch as he pleaded guilty before the court determined whether suppression was warranted” (People v Graham, 42 AD3d 933, 933-934 [2007], lv denied 9 NY3d 876 [2007]). “A guilty plea ‘generally results in a forfeiture of the right to appellate review of any nonjurisdictional defects in the proceedings’ ” (People v Powless, 66 AD3d 1353 [2009], quoting People v Fernandez, 67 NY2d 686, 688 [1986]). Although a defendant convicted upon a plea of guilty may seek review of “[a]n order finally denying a motion to suppress evidence” (CPL 710.70 [2]) upon an appeal from the judgment of conviction, no such order was issued in this case.
