People v. Elkin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Oct 6, 1989
154 A.D.2d 936 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

October 6, 1989

Appeal from the Oswego County Court, Auser, J.

Present — Boomer, J.P., Green, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant pleaded guilty to one count of burglary in the first degree in full satisfaction of a six-count indictment, withdrew his plea, and subsequently reentered it. Upon reentering his plea, defendant stated that he recalled the previous plea colloquy, and that his statement of the facts constituting the commission of the crime remained the same. The court accepted the plea. Defendant contends for the first time on appeal that the court's failure to elicit from defendant his own recitation of the facts at the second plea colloquy renders his plea invalid. Even if this issue were preserved for our review, we would find it to be without merit; there was nothing in defendant's prior recitation of the facts, incorporated by reference into the second plea colloquy, to call into question the voluntariness of the plea or to cast doubt upon defendant's guilt, thereby requiring the court to conduct further inquiry into the plea (cf., People v Beasley, 25 N.Y.2d 483; People v Serrano, 15 N.Y.2d 304; see generally, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662). Nor do we find defendant's sentence harsh and excessive.
