MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum:

The contention of defendant that he was denied effective assistance of counsel does not survive his plea of guilty ( see People v. Burke, 256 A.D.2d 1244, lv denied 93 N.Y.2d 851). The record does not support his contention that he entered the plea because of his attorney's allegedly poor performance or that "the plea bargaining process was infected by any allegedly ineffective assistance" ( id. at 1244; People v. Lebrun, 234 A.D.2d 392, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 986). The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
