THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHRISTOPHER JONES, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, his plea of guilty was not coerced by the honest and frank assessment of his Legal Aid attorney and the attorney's supervisor that in light of the denial of his motions, inter alia, to suppress evidence, the defendant would likely not prevail at trial and would be subject to a lengthy jail sentence ( see, People v Samuel, 208 AD2d 776; see also, People v Spinks, 227 AD2d 310; People v Cornelio, 227 AD2d 248; People v Coco, 220 AD2d 312). Rather, the record demonstrates that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily given. Therefore, the defendant has not established that the court improvidently denied his motion to withdraw his plea of guilty ( see, People v Palmeri, 227 AD2d 418; People v Breeden, 221 AD2d 352; People v McCaskell, 206 AD2d 547; People v Sears, 204 AD2d 578).

We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
