THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOHN BERDECIA, Also Known as TEDDY VILLAFANE, Appellant.

The record establishes that defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily pleaded guilty and waived his right to appeal as a condition of his plea ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1), and thus has waived appellate review of his current claims regarding the propriety of the suppression rulings. Since defendant does not claim that an illegal sentence was imposed, his challenges to his sentence are likewise waived.

On the existing record, which defendant has not sought to amplify by way of a CPL 440.10 motion, we find that defendant received meaningful representation ( People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404).

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Nardelli and Tom, JJ.
