Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made ( see People v. Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17). To the extent that the defendant's statements at sentencing may be deemed to constitute a pro se motion to vacate his plea of guilty, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying that motion without directing a hearing or assigning new counsel ( see People v. Reynolds, 4 AD3d 490; People v. Anderson, 284 AD2d 544, 545). The defendant's challenge to the voluntariness of the plea is based on matter which is dehors the record ( see People v. Bruno, 269 AD2d 540).
