[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Oscar Perez, appellant.




Harold, Salant, Strassfield & Spielberg, White Plains, NY (Rachel J. Filastro of counsel), for appellant.

Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., District Attorney, White Plains, NY (Christine DiSalvo and William C. Milaccio of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Barry E. Warhit, J.), rendered March 17, 2016, as amended August 3, 2016, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

The record reflects that the defendant's plea of guilty was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered (see People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 382; People v Seeber, 4 NY3d 780; People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543). Although the defendant, in moving to withdraw his plea of guilty, asserted that the voluntariness of his plea was affected by ineffective assistance rendered by his former attorney, the evidence submitted by the defendant in support of his motion was insufficient to support that assertion. Thus, we agree with the County Court's determination denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty (see People v Frederick, 45 NY2d 520; People v Avery, 18 AD3d 244).

SCHEINKMAN, P.J., RIVERA, CHAMBERS and LASALLE, JJ., concur.
