People v. Finger

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 18, 1986
117 A.D.2d 750 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

February 18, 1986

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Thorp, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant failed to raise objections to the adequacy of his plea allocution in the court of first instance and accordingly has not preserved his claims for appellate review (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v. Rivera, 90 A.D.2d 836). In any event, we find, based upon an examination of the record, that the allocution established a factual basis for the crime of manslaughter in the first degree, and that defendant knowingly and intelligently pleaded guilty thereto (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9).

Defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are based on allegations which are outside the record. Moreover, we note that at the plea allocution defendant specifically expressed satisfaction with the representation provided by his counsel. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
