Opinion
January 18, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Felice Shea, J.).
Defendant's bare claims of innocence and coercion at sentencing did not warrant further inquiry by the court into the validity of what was a very beneficial plea, given a record devoid of any suggestion of confusion or doubt on defendant's part as to the rights being waived and other consequences of pleading guilty ( see, People v Billingsley, 54 N.Y.2d 960; People v Williams, 210 A.D.2d 168, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 867). Nor was there any abuse of sentencing discretion.
Concur — Ellerin, J.P., Rubin, Nardelli, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
