Defendant entered an Alford plea of guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree and was sentenced as a second felony offender to 1½ years in prison followed by two years of postrelease supervision. Contrary to his assertion here, our review of the record reveals that defendant's plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary ( see People v Kennedy, 46 AD3d 1099, 1100, lv denied 10 NY3d 841). Indeed, County Court's remarks regarding a theoretical motion to withdraw the plea were made while ensuring that defendant fully understood the ramifications of pleading guilty and followed a detailed colloquy during which defendant informed County Court that he had discussed the matter with his attorney, was not impaired and had not been coerced into entering the plea ( see People v Rock, 56 AD3d 1053, 1054, lv denied 12 NY3d 787; People v Washington, 51 AD3d 1223, 1224). The record likewise reflects County Court's understanding that a sufficient factual basis for accepting the plea existed and that defendant's plea was the product of a rational and voluntary choice ( see People v Matthie, 34 AD3d 987, 989, lvs denied 8 NY3d 805, 847; People v Stewart, 307 AD2d 533, 534).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
