People v. Richardson

Michigan Court of Appeals
Nov 30, 1971
37 Mich. App. 295 (Mich. Ct. App. 1971)

Opinion

Docket No. 10172.

Decided November 30, 1971. Leave to appeal denied, 387 Mich. 760.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, Robert F. Leonard, Prosecuting Attorney, and Donald A. Kuebler, Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Howard R. Grossman, for defendant on appeal.

Before: DANHOF, P.J., and BRONSON and TARGONSKI, JJ.


Defendant was convicted of and sentenced for assault with intent to rob while being armed (MCLA § 750.89 [Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.284]) upon his plea of guilty in the Genesee County Circuit Court. His motion to withdraw his plea was denied. This is an appeal of right.

Motions to withdraw guilty pleas rest in the trial judge's sound discretion. People v. Vasquez (1942), 303 Mich. 340; People v. Palma (1970), 25 Mich. App. 682. This Court will not reverse unless it finds a miscarriage of justice in the record. People v. Collins (1968), 380 Mich. 131; People v. Wade (1970), 24 Mich. App. 518.

We have examined the record carefully. The trial judge made a careful inquiry into the defendant's alleged intoxication defense. We find no abuse of discretion.

Affirmed.
