75—The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Caleb Kornegay, Appellant.

[*1]John P. Savoca, Yorktown Heights, N.Y., for appellant.

Francis D. Phillips II, District Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (Luke E. Bovill of counsel), forrespondent.

[*2]

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (De Rosa, J.),rendered April 26, 2007, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the seconddegree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to appeal precludesreview of his claims regarding the court's denial of that branch of his omnibus motion which wasto suppress physical evidence, as well as his claims regarding counsel's performance at thesuppression hearing, and the excessiveness of his sentence (see People v Cardona, 51 AD3d 941 [2008]; People v Morrow, 48 AD3d 704,705 [2008]). The defendant did not seek to withdraw his plea of guilty, so his claim that his pleawas not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Rufa, 57 AD3d 697[2008]). The defendant's claim that he was deprived of his right to effective assistance of counselwith respect to the plea rests on matter dehors the record and thus may not be reviewed on directappeal (see People v Nadal, 57AD3d 574 [2008]). Fisher, J.P., Florio, Dickerson and Belen, JJ., concur.
