DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Robert G. Bogle, J.), rendered July 2, 2018, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that his plea of guilty was not knowing, intelligent, and voluntary, because he was not advised of certain potential consequences of his plea, and that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel for the same reason. A challenge to the voluntariness of the plea survives a valid appeal waiver, as does a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel that may have impaired the voluntariness of the plea (see People v. Bhuiyan, 181 A.D.3d 699, 700, 120 N.Y.S.3d 400 ; People v. Fontanet, 126 A.D.3d 723, 723, 2 N.Y.S.3d 371 ). Therefore, there is no merit to the People's contention that the purported appeal waiver precludes appellate review of the defendant's claims, and we need not determine whether the purported appeal waiver was valid (see People v. Ward, 140 A.D.3d 903, 904, 32 N.Y.S.3d 648 ).
The defendant's contention concerning the voluntariness of his plea, however, is unpreserved for appellate review as he did not move to withdraw his plea or otherwise raise these issues before the Supreme Court (see CPL 220.60[3] ; 470.05[2]; People v. Conceicao, 26 N.Y.3d 375, 381–382, 23 N.Y.S.3d 124, 44 N.E.3d 199 ; People v. Talbert, 186 A.D.3d 508, 509, 126 N.Y.S.3d 379 ). In any event, this contention is without merit, as the record establishes a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea of guilty (see generally People v. Hill, 9 N.Y.3d 189, 191, 849 N.Y.S.2d 13, 879 N.E.2d 152 ).
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel is based, in part, on matter appearing on the record and, in part, on matter outside the record, and, thus, constitutes a "mixed claim of ineffective assistance" ( People v. Maxwell, ...
