Respondent, v Michael Martinez, Appellant. |
—[*1]
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of
counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), rendered June 5, 2012, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree under indictment No. 46/11, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, his plea of guilty was entered voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently (see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543 [1993]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17 [1983]). The defendant acknowledged during the plea proceeding that he was aware of the postrelease supervision component of his sentence (see generally People v Louree, 8 NY3d 541, 545-546 [2007]; People v Catu, 4 NY3d 242, 245 [2005]).
The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel, as defense counsel provided meaningful representation (see People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708, 712 [1998]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 146-147 [1981]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera, J.P., Hall, Roman and Cohen, JJ., concur.
