It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of course of sexual conduct against a child in the second degree (Penal Law § 130.80 [a]). We conclude on the record before us that, contrary to the contention of defendant, his plea was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent ( see generally People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 16-19).
