    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Towner, Appellant.
    [721 NYS2d 255]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.), rendered August 12, 1999, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s plea was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered (see, People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Bracken, Acting P. J., S. Miller, McGinity and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
