To the extent that defendant contends that certain conversations and interactions with defense counsel gave rise to ineffective assistance of counsel and also established that his plea was involuntary, such contentions "are based on matters outside the record and must therefore be raised by way of a motion pursuant to CPL article 440" ( Dale , 142 AD3d at 1290 [internal quotation marks omitted]; see People v Spoor , 148 AD3d 1795, 1797 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1134 [2017]).

That contention survives his guilty plea and valid waiver of the right to appeal "only if the plea bargaining process was infected by [the] allegedly ineffective assistance or [if] defendant entered the plea because of [the] attorney['s] allegedly poor performance" ( People v Johnson , 229 AD3d 1300 , 1302 [4th Dept 2024], lv denied 42 NY3d 1020 [2024] [internal quotation marks omitted]; see People v Williams , 246 AD3d 1370 , 1371 [4th Dept 2026], lv denied — NY3d — [2026]).

Defendant's cursory protestations of innocence are "unsupported by the record and belied by [defendant's] statements during the plea colloquy" ( People v Gerena , 174 AD3d 1428 , 1430 [4th Dept 2019], lv denied 34 NY3d 981 [2019]; see generally People v Dale , 142 AD3d 1287 , 1289 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]) and his prior admissions—under oath—in Family Court.

Defendant's contention that he was coerced into pleading guilty is "unsupported by the record and belied by his statements during the plea colloquy" ( People v Gerena , 174 AD3d 1428 , 1430 [4th Dept 2019], lv denied 34 NY3d 981 [2019]; see People v Dale , 142 AD3d 1287 , 1289 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]).

That contention involves "discussions between defendant and his attorney outside the record on appeal, and it must therefore be raised by way of a motion pursuant to CPL 440.10" ( People v Manning , 151 AD3d 1936, 1938 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 30 NY3d 951 [2017]; see People v Dale , 142 AD3d 1287 , 1290 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]; People v Stachnik , 101 AD3d 1590 , 1591 [4th Dept 2012], lv denied 20 NY3d 1104 [2013]).

Even assuming, arguendo, that those contentions are preserved for our review, we conclude that they are "unsupported by the record and belied by [defendant's] statements during the plea colloquy" ( People v Gerena , 174 AD3d 1428 , 1430 [4th Dept 2019], lv denied 34 NY3d 981 [2019]; see People v Dale , 142 AD3d 1287 , 1289 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]).

In any event, defendant's contention lacks merit inasmuch as it is based solely on an unsupported claim of innocence ( see People v Haffiz , 19 NY3d 883, 884-885 [2012]; see generally People v Dixon , 29 NY2d 55, 57 [1971]), which is belied by his statements during the plea colloquy ( see People v Dale , 142 AD3d 1287 , 1289 [4th Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1144 [2017]; see generally Dixon , 29 NY2d at 57 ).
