In *People v. Chandler*, 2021 NY Slip Op 07459, the Appellate Division, Fourth Department affirmed the judgment of the Niagara County Court, which had convicted Josiah J. Chandler based on his guilty plea for attempted murder in the second degree, first-degree assault, and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. The court found that Chandler's arguments regarding the acceptance of his plea were not preserved for review because he did not move to withdraw the plea or vacate the conviction, as outlined in *People v. Sierra-Garcia*. The court also noted that Chandler's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was addressed, concluding that he received meaningful representation throughout the proceedings, referencing *People v. Baldi*. Lastly, the court determined that the sentence imposed was not excessively harsh or severe. The decision was entered on December 23, 2021.
