Opinion
February 22, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Brenda Soloff, J.).
Review of the plea allocution demonstrates that defendant knowingly and voluntarily admitted to the elements of the crime of which he was convicted and did not raise any facts which would suggest an agency defense. The court properly denied defendant's subsequent motion to withdraw the plea as it contained no corroboration for his assertion that his prior attorney failed to apprise him of the agency defense. Moreover, defendant failed to demonstrate any reasonable possibility that an agency defense would have been viable.
