DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was voluntary, knowing, and intelligent, and served to effectively waive appellate review of the specific issues which he now seeks to raise ( see, People v. Callahan, 80 N.Y.2d 273, 283; People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1).
