THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. ANGEL CURRAS, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's valid waiver of his right to appeal precludes review of his challenge to the factual adequacy of his plea allocution ( see People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273; People v. DeWitt, 295 A.D.2d 937; People v. Santiago, 280 A.D.2d 688; People v. Bruno, 269 A.D.2d 540), as well as his claim that he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial pursuant to CPL 30.30 ( see People v. DeWitt, supra; People v. Smith, 271 A.D.2d 703; People v. Love, 236 A.D.2d 488).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court properly denied his motion to vacate his plea of guilty. The defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily pleaded guilty, and the record does not support his conclusory claims of coercion and ineffective assistance of counsel ( see People v. Carter, 304 A.D.2d 771; People v. Telfair, 299 A.D.2d 429; People v. Potter, 294 A.D.2d 603).

The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, SCHMIDT and CRANE, JJ., concur.
