PEOPLE v. COBB (2005)

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Alessandro, J.), rendered June 10, 2004, convicting him of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

 The defendant's contention that he was coerced into pleading guilty is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Clarke, 93 N.Y.2d 904, 906, 690 N.Y.S.2d 501, 712 N.E.2d 668;  People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636, 637, 467 N.Y.S.2d 355, 454 N.E.2d 938;  People v. Coles, 240 A.D.2d 419, 658 N.Y.S.2d 1005).   In any event, nothing in the record of the plea allocution calls into question the voluntary, knowing, and intelligent nature of the defendant's bargained-for plea (see People v. Seeber, 4 N.Y.3d 780, 793 N.Y.S.2d 826, 826 N.E.2d 797;  People v. Banister, 15 A.D.3d 497, 789 N.Y.S.2d 430).   The defendant's claim that his plea was the product of ineffective assistance of counsel was belied by his acknowledgment at the plea proceeding that he was satisfied with the representation of his attorney (see People v. LaFurno, 8 A.D.3d 498, 778 N.Y.S.2d 316;  People v. Weekes, 289 A.D.2d 599, 735 N.Y.S.2d 815).
