People v. Hall

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 12, 1993
195 A.D.2d 521 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

July 12, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cooperman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

At sentencing, the defendant presented a written pro se motion to withdraw his plea of guilty, alleging, inter alia, that his plea was the result of coercion and ineffective assistance of counsel. Contrary to the defendant's contention, we find that he had a reasonable opportunity to present his claims and the matter need not be remitted for a further inquiry (see, People v. Machado, 181 A.D.2d 796). Moreover, the defendant's belated claims of coercion and ineffective assistance of counsel are flatly refuted by the record of the plea proceeding in which he knowingly and voluntarily made a complete and detailed plea allocution in the presence of competent counsel. The defendant expressed no dissatisfaction with his counsel at the time of the plea, after the court had fully apprised him of the consequences of pleading guilty (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v Zaia, 181 A.D.2d 931). Mangano, P.J., Rosenblatt, Lawrence, Copertino and Joy, JJ., concur.
