People v. Soto

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

111 A.D.2d 836 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

June 10, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Owens, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

While defendant has raised some doubt as to the substantive sufficiency of his guilty plea, he never objected to the adequacy of the plea allocution at Criminal Term, and thus has failed, as a matter of law, to preserve his claim for appellate review ( see, People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v. Santiago, 100 A.D.2d 857). A reversal in the interest of justice is not warranted. Defendant's plea was the product of plea bargaining, freely entered into by him with the advice of counsel, under which the plea and sentence were in satisfaction of a 13-count indictment. The plea enabled defendant to avoid the possible imposition of a much longer sentence of imprisonment ( see, People v. Ebron, 87 A.D.2d 653). There is no indication that the plea was not entered into knowingly and voluntarily. Lazer, J.P., Gibbons, O'Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
