THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. GARTH COLLYMORE, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The record reveals that, based upon the evidence, the law, and the circumstances of the case, the defendant's attorney provided him with meaningful representation ( see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court had the authority to resentence him upon discovering its mistake in imposing an illegal sentence ( see, People v. Williams, 87 N.Y.2d 1014; People v. Ali, 241 A.D.2d 321; see also, People v. Minaya, 54 N.Y.2d 360, cert denied 455 U.S. 1024). Since the defendant was resentenced to a term of imprisonment in accordance with the plea agreement, he was not entitled to withdraw his plea ( cf., People v. Selikoff, 35 N.Y.2d 227, cert denied 419 U.S. 1122).

As part of the negotiated plea, the defendant agreed to waive his right to appeal the conviction, including any search and seizure issues. The waiver, which was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made, precludes review of the remaining issues raised by the defendant ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1).

O'Brien, J. P., Thompson, Sullivan and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
