People v. Lawton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

203 A.D.2d 141 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

April 19, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Franklin Weissberg, J.).


The court did not abuse its discretion in denying without a hearing a motion defendant made at sentencing to withdraw his plea of guilty, defendant's bare claims of innocence of the crime charged and ignorance of the consequences of pleading guilty notwithstanding, where the record of the plea proceedings shows that defendant admitted his guilt of the crime charged in the presence of counsel, was carefully advised by the court as to the consequences of pleading guilty, and otherwise entered his plea knowingly and voluntarily (see, People v Frederick, 45 N.Y.2d 520; see also, People v Diaz, 162 A.D.2d 405, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 939; People v Baez, 188 A.D.2d 365).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Kupferman, Asch, Williams and Tom, JJ.
