DEFENDANT FAILED TO CHALLENGE THE PREDICATE FELONY STATEMENT IN THE LOWER COURT; THEREFORE THE ALLEGED ERROR WAS NOT PRESERVED FOR APPEAL (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, reversing the Appellate Division, determined the alleged error in the CPL 400.21 predicate felony statement was not preserved for appeal:

Because defendant failed to challenge the CPL 400.21 predicate felony statement filed by the People in the court of first instance, her claim that her sentence was illegal due to the failure to include the tolling periods in that document did not present a question of law for purposes of appellate review … .  Defendant’s claim was not reviewable under the narrow illegal sentence exception to the preservation requirement because it was not “readily discernible from the trial record” that the sentence the court imposed was not within the permissible range … . People v Lashley, 2021 NY Slip Op 06938, CtApp 12-14-21
