THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ORIN BREWLEY, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Upon our review of the record, we find that the defendant voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to appeal and that he withdrew all prior motions, both pending and decided, as part of his plea agreement. Accordingly, the defendant cannot now challenge the propriety of the hearing court's denial of his motion to suppress identification testimony (see, People v Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1; People v Meyers, 204 A.D.2d 492; People v. Butler, 198 A.D.2d 427; People v Carter, 191 A.D.2d 640).

We reject the defendant's contention that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered because the County Court failed to conduct a sufficient inquiry to determine whether he was aware that he possessed a potential justification defense. Contrary to the defendant's contention, his factual recitation of his commission of the crime did not indicate that justification could have been a viable defense. Thus, the County Court was not required to make a further inquiry (see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 668; People v. Rivera, 180 A.D.2d 767; People v. Orr, 144 A.D.2d 391). Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, O'Brien and Altman, JJ., concur.
