People v. Nilsson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 6, 1987
132 A.D.2d 577 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

July 6, 1987

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Cacciabaudo, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We are satisfied that there was no reasonable basis for ordering psychiatric examinations of the defendant pursuant to CPL article 730 prior to acceptance by the trial court of the defendant's guilty plea (see, People v. Armlin, 37 N.Y.2d 167; People v. Corwise, 120 A.D.2d 604). Moreover, the trial court made proper inquiry to ensure that the defendant's waiver of, inter alia, his right to trial and to raise certain defenses (see, e.g., Penal Law § 15.25, 160.15 Penal [4]) was knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently made (see, People v. Mitchell, 90 A.D.2d 854; see also, People v. Serrano, 15 N.Y.2d 304; People v. Wedgewood, 106 A.D.2d 674) and the defendant may not here challenge the factual basis for his plea (People v. Riley, 120 A.D.2d 752).

Finally, the trial court was not obligated to sentence the defendant to an indeterminate term of from 2 to 6 years' incarceration, which had been promised upon acceptance of a plea of guilty the defendant was thereafter permitted to withdraw (cf., People v. Ifill, 108 A.D.2d 202; People v. Grant, 99 A.D.2d 536). The defendant pleaded guilty a second time with the understanding that he would receive the sentence which was thereafter actually imposed and shows no basis to complain that the sentence was excessive (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Weinstein, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
