Opinion
September 24, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Andrias, J.).
Defendant knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty and the record belies his claim that he did not understand the conditions of his plea due to a psychological disorder. We also conclude that defendant received effective assistance of counsel ( People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404).
