Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Schenectady County (Giardino, J.), rendered May 25, 2010, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Defendant was indicted on charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), attempted assault in the first degree, attempted murder in the second degree, reckless endangerment in the first degree, perjury in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree. He subsequently pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, in full satisfaction of the charges, and waived his right to appeal. Prior to sentencing, defendant moved to withdraw his plea. County Court denied the motion and sentenced him, as a second felony offender, to the agreed-upon term of imprisonment of five years, to be followed by five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.
Defendant contends that his plea was involuntarily entered due to a lack of understanding that a requirement of the plea agreement was that he cooperate with the People by answering questions concerning an unrelated matter. Although this contention survives his waiver of the right to appeal and was preserved by his motion to withdraw his plea (see People v Ortiz, 69 AD3d 966, 967 [2010]), it is nevertheless without merit. A review of the plea colloquy reveals that defendant was fully aware of the
