THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DWAYNE D. HINES, Appellant.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pleaded guilty to the crimes of rape in the first degree (three counts), sodomy in the first degree (two counts) and course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree in satisfaction of two indictments, a superior court information and all other pending charges. Defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was denied and he was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement to an aggregate prison term of 15 to 30 years. Inasmuch as the record discloses that defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea and general waiver of his right to appeal, he may not challenge the sentence as harsh and excessive (see, People v. Hidalgo, 91 N.Y.2d 733). Nevertheless, were we to address the merits of this contention, we would find it unpersuasive particularly in view of the heinous nature of the crimes perpetrated by defendant against three young victims (see, People v. Teed, 250 A.D.2d 934, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 906).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
