People v. Santiago

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 5, 1997
240 A.D.2d 192 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

June 5, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Joseph Cohen, J.).


Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea was properly denied after sufficient inquiry. The record provides no support for defendant's conclusory claims of coercion ( see, People v Frederick, 45 N.Y.2d 520) and ineffective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404). Defendant's waiver of indictment and superior court information, constituting a single document, satisfied the requirements of CPL 195.20 ( People v Lamoni, 230 A.D.2d 628, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 925). We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.

Concur — Wallach, J.P., Rubin, Williams and Andrias, JJ.
