Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Appeal pro se denial of motion

I am on felony probation.I filed a motion to have some conditions of probation removed. the D.A. answered then I responded. the judge denied the motion with no explaination. can I appeal?

In the D.A.'s brief, they brought up my prior violation. at my hearing on that violation, my lawyer made sure the record of the violation couldnt be brought up again. did i need to object to the D.A. talking about my prior violation in her affirmation?
