Opinion
April 19, 1996
Appeal from the Onondaga County Court, Cunningham, J.
Present — Lawton, J.P., Wesley, Callahan, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted robbery in the first degree. By failing to move to withdraw his guilty plea or to vacate the judgment of conviction, defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review his challenge to the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution ( see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 665; People v. Lopez, 212 A.D.2d 1053, 1054, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 976; People v. Hoffman, 210 A.D.2d 995, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 1032). This is not one of those "rare case[s]" in which "defendant's recitation of the facts underlying the crime pleaded to clearly casts significant doubt upon the defendant's guilt" ( People v. Lopez, supra, at 666).
The record establishes that defendant entered his guilty plea knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily ( see, People v Fiumefreddo, 82 N.Y.2d 536, 543). Although the record contains some intemperate and injudicious remarks by County Court, upon our review of the record, we conclude that those remarks do not affect the constitutional validity of defendant's guilty plea. Defendant acknowledged that he was entering the plea of his own free will without any influence other than what was stated on the record about the preservation of defendant's right to appeal.
