DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Danny K. Chun, J.), rendered January 18, 2017, convicting him of criminal sale of a firearm in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, criminal sale of a firearm in the third degree, and conspiracy in the fourth degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the plea allocution was factually sufficient and the record as a whole demonstrates that his plea of guilty was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent (see People v. Conceicao, 26 N.Y.3d 375, 383, 23 N.Y.S.3d 124, 44 N.E.3d 199 ; People v. Fiumefreddo, 82 N.Y.2d 536, 543, 605 N.Y.S.2d 671, 626 N.E.2d 646 ; People v. Chavies, 189 A.D.3d 1452, 1453, 134 N.Y.S.3d 757 ).
The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel (see Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 ; People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708, 674 N.Y.S.2d 629, 697 N.E.2d 584 ; People v. Arce, 196 A.D.3d 696, 148 N.Y.S.3d 687 ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
