McElroy, J.), rendered September 3, 2003, following a plea of guilty, convicting him of operating or parking a motor vehicle on a public highway with an expired inspection sticker (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 306) and imposing sentence.

PRESENT: McCABE, P.J., RUDOLPH and ANGIOLILLO, JJ.
Defendant appeared in court to answer the charge of operating or parking a motor vehicle on a public highway with an expired inspection sticker (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 306). Defendant entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to a fine of $10, which he paid. On appeal, defendant argues that he was not guilty of the charge. However, by pleading guilty, defendant has generally removed the issue of his factual guilt from the case ( see People v. Taylor, 65 NY2d 1).
