Majority
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, his plea of guilty was entered voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently (see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536 , 543 [1993]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662 , 666 [1988]; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9 , 17 [1983]). The defendant acknowledged during the plea proceeding that he was aware of the postrelease supervision component of his sentence (see generally People v Louree, 8 NY3d 541 , 545-546 [2007]; People v Catu, 4 NY3d 242 , 245 [2005]).
The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel, as defense counsel provided meaningful representation (see People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708 , 712 [1998]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 , 146-147 [1981]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Rivera, J.P., Hall, Roman and Cohen, JJ., concur.
