MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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

Memorandum:

Contrary to the contention of defendant, the record establishes that his waiver of the right to appeal was knowing, intelligent and voluntary ( see People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733, 736). That waiver encompasses the contention of defendant that County Court erred in arraigning him without addressing his dissatisfaction with assigned counsel ( see People v. Viscomi, 286 A.D.2d 886, 886; People v. Segrue, 274 A.D.2d 671, 672, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 908) as well as his contention that the bargained-for sentence is excessive ( see People v. Wright, 288 A.D.2d 899, lv denied 97 N.Y.2d 689; People v. Gonzalez, 207 A.D.2d 563, 564).
