People v. Bullock

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 15, 1986
125 A.D.2d 483 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

December 15, 1986

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


Ordered that the judgment and amended judgment are affirmed.

The only issue that warrants our attention on these appeals relates to the defendant's motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty prior to sentencing and for leave to submit a pro se suppression motion. The sentencing court denied the motion on the ground that at the plea proceedings, the defendant had knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to make such a suppression motion. It is apparent from the record that the defendant was well aware that he was waiving his right to make such a motion and to appellate review thereof by pleading guilty (see, People v. Williams, 36 N.Y.2d 829, cert denied 423 U.S. 873; People v Colarusso, 103 A.D.2d 848). During the plea proceedings, the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights and allocuted as to the circumstances of the crime sufficiently to establish his guilt (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9). Therefore, it was not an abuse of discretion for the sentencing court to deny the defendant's motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty (see, People v. Frederick, 45 N.Y.2d 520; People v Stubbs, 110 A.D.2d 725). Further, the defendant received the sentences he was promised (see, People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Thompson, J.P., Niehoff, Weinstein, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
