Opinion
December 24, 1990
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Belfi, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Upon our review of the minutes of the plea proceedings, we conclude that the defendant's plea was knowing and voluntary and that the allocution was factually sufficient (see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666). We further find that, contrary to the defendant's contentions on appeal, the defense of agency was not implicated in his factual recitation. Accordingly, there was no duty for the court to make any further inquiries in order to ensure that the defendant's plea was knowing and voluntary (see, People v. Gaither, 153 A.D.2d 587). Thompson, J.P., Brown, Balletta, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
