PEOPLE v. BROWN

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, his plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9). In addition, the County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea, and the defendant was not denied the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Rodriguez, 270 A.D.2d 434; People v. Sosa, 258 A.D.2d 312; People v. Simons, 158 A.D.2d 728).
