The defendant contends that his plea of guilty was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent because the Supreme Court impliedly promised that he would be admitted to a temporary release program. Contrary to the defendant‘s contention, the record establishes that neither the defendant‘s eligibility for a temporary release program nor his admission into such a program was a condition of the plea (see People v Whitty, 140 AD3d 802 [2016]; People v Demick, 138 AD3d 1486 [2016]; People v Williams, 84 AD3d 1417, 1418 [2011]; see generally People v Ballato, 128 AD3d 846, 847 [2015]).
The defendant‘s remaining contention is without merit.
