Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

188 A.D.2d 624 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

591 N.Y.S.2d 847

Opinion

December 21, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Felig, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The court did not err in accepting the defendant's guilty plea without inquiring as to whether he was knowingly and voluntarily waiving certain defenses. A review of the plea minutes fails to indicate that the defendant's factual recitation negated an essential element of the crime or raised any defenses (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666; cf., People v Thomas, 159 A.D.2d 529). Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Miller, Copertino and Santucci, JJ., concur.
