    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Hector Caraballo, Appellant.
    [710 NYS2d 914]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Pitts, J.), rendered August 23, 1999, convicting him of rape in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Since the defendant did not move to withdraw his plea, or to vacate the judgment of conviction, he has failed, as a matter of law, to preserve for appellate review his claim regarding the sufficiency of the plea allocution (see, People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 665; People v Claudio, 64 NY2d 858; People v Clark, 254 AD2d 299).

The plea of guilty was entered into knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently, and with a full understanding of the consequences (see, People v Lopez, supra; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9; People v Nixon, 21 NY2d 338, cert denied sub nom. Robinson v New York, 393 US 1067). Mangano, P. J., Santucci, Krausman, Florio and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
