Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim with respect to the voluntariness of the plea survives even a valid waiver of the right to appeal ( see People v Rodriguez-Ovalles, 74 AD3d 1368; People v Elcine, 43 AD3d 1176, 1177). However, the record of the plea proceeding establishes that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered ( see People v Garcia, 92 NY2d 869, 870; People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543; People v Grimes, 35 AD3d 882, 883). Accordingly, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's pro se motion to withdraw his plea of guilty ( see CPL 220.60; People v DeLeon, 40 AD3d 1008, 1008-1009; People v Gully, 17 AD3d 382).
