Carol Kahn, New York, N.Y., for appellant. William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Kirsten A. Rappleyea of counsel), for respondent.
Appeals by the defendant from (1) a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), rendered June 19, 2012, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and menacing a police officer (five counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence, and (2) a resentence of the same court, imposed October 16, 2012.
ORDERED that the judgment and resentence are affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the plea of guilty was entered knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently ( see People v. Blunt, 93 A.D.3d 675, 676–677, 939 N.Y.S.2d 563;cf. People v. Divalentino, 109 A.D.3d 999, 1000–1001, 971 N.Y.S.2d 342;see generally People v. Catu, 4 N.Y.3d 242, 245, 792 N.Y.S.2d 887, 825 N.E.2d 1081).
*284The resentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
