207 A.D.2d 712 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

616 N.Y.S.2d 947

Opinion

September 20, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Sudolnik, J.).

Defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was properly denied. The plea was given in exchange for a favorable sentence and entered after a proper allocution in which defendant, among other things, admitted guilt to one of the crimes charged. At sentencing, defendant failed to articulate any facts casting doubt on his guilt or otherwise warranting further inquiry from the court (see, People v. Francis, 38 N.Y.2d 150, 154).
