157 A.D.2d 504 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

549 N.Y.S.2d 696

Opinion

January 11, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Frank Diaz, J.).

We find no support in the record for defendant's contention that his guilty plea was coerced. Nor is defendant's bald assertion of innocence credible, given his voluntary admission, made upon the advice of competent counsel, of having committed the acts charged. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his plea without a hearing (see, People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926; People v. Dixon, 29 N.Y.2d 55; People v. Tannenbaum, 116 A.D.2d 677).
