Ordered that the judgments and the amended judgment are affirmed.
A review of the record demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered his pleas of guilty (see, People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1, 11). The defendant's assertion that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel due to counsel's alleged failure to inform him that he was pleading guilty to a felony necessarily rests upon matters dehors the record and is not cognizable on the appeal before us. In any event, a review of the record demonstrates that the defendant was provided with meaningful representation (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 146-147). Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
