People v. Bell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 2, 1985
115 A.D.2d 483 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 2, 1985

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


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant failed to raise his objections to the adequacy of his plea allocution in Criminal Term and, accordingly, has not preserved his claims for appellate review (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636). In any event, we find that the allocution established the requisite elements of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and that defendant knowingly and intelligently pleaded guilty thereto (see, People v Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v Nixon, 21 N.Y.2d 338, cert. denied sub nom. Robinson v New York, 393 U.S. 1067; People v Jones, 81 A.D.2d 22).

In conclusion, we note that the imposed sentence of 3 to 9 years' imprisonment was appropriate and bargained for. Defendant cannot complain that it was excessive (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
