People v. De Leo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Apr 6, 1995
214 A.D.2d 762 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

April 6, 1995

Appeal from the County Court of Albany County (Keegan, J.).


Defendant contends that the plea of guilty should be vacated because neither the plea, nor his waiver of his right to appeal, were made knowingly, voluntarily or intelligently. Further, defendant contends that his sentence should be vacated because he was denied his statutory right to challenge his predicate felon status and because the presentence report was defective.

Initially, we note that defendant failed to either move to withdraw his guilty plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction and has therefore failed to preserve his arguments for our review (see, People v Coleman, 203 A.D.2d 729, 730). If we were to address the merits of defendant's contentions we would find no error. The record clearly indicates that defendant's guilty plea was entered voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently (see, People v Moissett, 76 N.Y.2d 909). Prior to accepting defendant's plea of guilty County Court reviewed, on the record, defendant's constitutional rights, his acceptance of waivers, the consequences of the plea and the terms of the sentence (see, People v Ramos, 208 A.D.2d 1052). Further, defendant's conclusory allegations against his defense counsel fail to establish a denial of meaningful representation (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

Finally, defendant's contentions regarding sentencing are moot because he has fully served his sentence (see, People v McLaine, 64 N.Y.2d 934).

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Yesawich Jr. and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
