Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The sentencing court properly denied the defendant's motion for leave to withdraw his plea of guilty. The right of a defendant to withdraw a previously entered plea of guilty rests within the sound discretion of the sentencing court ( see People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780; People v Mann, 32 AD3d 865; People v Kucharczyk, 15 AD3d 595), the exercise of which will not be disturbed absent an improvident exercise of discretion ( see People v DeLeon, 40 AD3d 1008). The defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made ( see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543; cf. People v Callahan, 80 NY2d 273, 283; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 16), and the defendant's contentions to the contrary are without merit.
