M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (Steven J. Miraglia of counsel), for appellant.

DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made (see, People v. Fiumefreddo, 82 N.Y.2d 536, 543-45 ; People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9, 17 ). There is no merit to his contention that he was coerced into pleading guilty to secure a favorable plea agreement for his wife (see, People v. Fiumefreddo, supra; People v. Santos, 244 A.D.2d 897 ; People v. Betancur, 203 A.D.2d 714 ).
BRACKEN, J.P., SANTUCCI, ALTMAN, FRIEDMANN, and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
