Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Greller, J.), rendered December 17, 2012, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his plea of guilty was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent is unpreserved for appellate review, since he did not move to withdraw the plea ( see People v. Pryor, 11 A.D.3d 565, 566, 782 N.Y.S.2d 803). In any event, the plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered ( see People v. Fiumefreddo, 82 N.Y.2d 536, 543, 605 N.Y.S.2d 671, 626 N.E.2d 646;People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5;People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9, 17, 471 N.Y.S.2d 61, 459 N.E.2d 170).

The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel, as defense counsel provided meaningful representation ( see People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708, 712, 674 N.Y.S.2d 629, 697 N.E.2d 584;People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147, 444 N.Y.S.2d 893, 429 N.E.2d 400).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 85, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675). MASTRO, J.P., HALL, LOTT, AUSTIN and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
