Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree ( see Penal Law § 220.39). The plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered in the presence of the defendant's counsel ( see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543; People v Holman, 33 AD3d 815; People v Palmer, 29 AD3d 606; People v Tissiera, 22 AD3d 611, 612). More-over, the defendant was not denied the effective assistance of counsel. The defense counsel obtained a favorable plea which limited the defendant's term of imprisonment and which satisfied two outstanding, unrelated felony charges. There is nothing in the record which casts doubt upon counsel's effectiveness ( see People v Ford, 86 NY2d 397, 404).
