Opinion
June 2, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.).
The court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea, without holding a hearing. Defendant's incredible claim of intoxication from his alleged ingestion of drugs ten minutes before taking the plea was contradicted by defendant's lucid plea allocution and the court's own recollection of defendant's normal demeanor there at (see, People v. Bermudez, 228 A.D.2d 237, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 919; People v. Rivera, 191 A.D.2d 209, appeal withdrawn 81 N.Y.2d 975).
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Rosenberger, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
