PEOPLE v. KNOWLES

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The pleas of guilty were entered into knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently, and with a full understanding of the consequences ( see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v. Nixon, 21 N.Y.2d 338, cert denied sub nom. Robinson v. New York, 393 U.S. 1067).

The defendant's factual recitation and the plea colloquy sufficiently established all of the elements of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree ( see, People v. Katende, 198 A.D.2d 522).

The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147). The defendant's allegations of inadequate representation were belied by the record of the plea proceedings in which he expressly stated, under oath, that he was satisfied with the legal advice that he had received ( see, People v. Alicea, 191 A.D.2d 702).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either based on matters dehors the record or without merit ( see, People v. Whittaker, 243 A.D.2d 591).

Bracken, J. P., Copertino, Thompson and McGinity, JJ., concur.
