Present — Pigott, Jr., P.J., Scudder, Kehoe, Smith and Pine, JJ.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of, inter alia, attempted murder in the second degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 125.25). Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant preserved for our review his contention that his plea was not knowing, voluntary and intelligent, we conclude that defendant's contention is without merit ( see generally People v. Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 19-20). We reject the further contention of defendant that County Court erred in refusing to suppress his statement to the police. Contrary to defendant's contention, the court did not err in crediting the testimony of the detective at the suppression hearing over that of defendant ( see People v. Barfield, 21 AD3d 1396).
