Opinion
February 3, 1997.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.), rendered November 9, 1994, as amended December 1, 1994, convicting him of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Before: Rosenblatt, J.P., Joy, Florio and McGinity, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Appellate review of the issues which the defendant presently raises has been foreclosed by his entry of a valid plea of guilty ( see, People v Miles, 220 AD2d 254; People v Contestabile, 202 AD2d 442; People v Gerber, 182 AD2d 252) as well as by his knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of the right to appeal ( see, People v Holman, 89 NY2d 876; People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1; People v Pimentel, 198 AD2d 309; People v Burk, 181 AD2d 74). The defendant's attempts to obtain review by mischaracterizing the indictment as jurisdictional defective and his sentence as cruel and unusual are unavailing.
