Opinion
April 4, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Quinones, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Although given the opportunity to do so, the defendant did not provide the court with any valid basis upon which to permit him to withdraw his plea (see, e.g., People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926; People v. Pearson, 131 A.D.2d 514, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 754). The defendant's conclusory assertions of innocence and his unsubstantiated claim that he was pressured into pleading guilty are contrary to his plea allocution and did not warrant the granting of his motion to withdraw his plea (see, e.g., People v Braun, 133 A.D.2d 702; People v. Frazier, 132 A.D.2d 617, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 711; People v. Suba, 130 A.D.2d 526, 527). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Brown, Weinstein and Spatt, JJ., concur.
