Opinion
November 7, 1991
Appeal from the County Court of Otsego County (Mogavero, Jr., J.).
Contrary to defendant's contention, the record establishes that his waiver of his right to appeal as part of a negotiated plea bargain was knowingly and voluntarily made and that defendant fully understood the consequences of the waiver (see, People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1; People v. Brown, 160 A.D.2d 1039). Furthermore, a review of the minutes of the plea allocution indicates that County Court made sufficient inquiry of defendant, who was aided by competent counsel, and that defendant fully comprehended the nature of the proceedings and knowingly entered his plea. Accordingly, the court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty (see, People v Lattmen, 101 A.D.2d 662, 663; People v. Walton, 98 A.D.2d 842, 843). We have examined defendant's remaining contention and find it lacking in merit.
Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Mikoll, Crew III and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
