Opinion
December 6, 1990
Appeal from the County Court of Montgomery County (Aison, J.).
There was no abuse of discretion in County Court's denial of defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. A complete and thorough plea allocution was made and no evidence was presented other than defendant's self-serving assertions to support his motion (see, People v. Franco, 145 A.D.2d 837; People v. Zuk, 130 A.D.2d 886, lv. denied 70 N.Y.2d 659). Nor was it improper for the court not to have conducted a full evidentiary hearing. The record establishes that the court gave defendant ample opportunity to set forth and substantiate his claims before making its decision (see, supra). Finally, it is clear from the record that defendant was provided with effective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Bell, 141 A.D.2d 749).
Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Weiss, Mercure and Harvey, JJ., concur.
