People v. Bell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 29, 1985
110 A.D.2d 902 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 29, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Slavin, J.).


Judgments affirmed.

The plea minutes clearly reveal that defendant understood that if he failed to appear in court on the scheduled sentencing date, the court would not be bound by the promise made as to sentence as part of the plea agreement, that he would receive enhanced sentences, and that he would not be permitted to withdraw his guilty pleas as a result. Criminal Term, therefore, cannot be said to have abused its discretion in denying defendant's application to withdraw his guilty pleas and in imposing sentences which appropriately reflected his criminal record, when defendant turned up for sentencing three years late ( see, People v. Murello, 39 N.Y.2d 879; People v. Davis, 106 A.D.2d 657). We also note that by pleading guilty prior to the determination of his omnibus motion, defendant waived appellate review of all suppression issues raised therein ( People v. Querica, 106 A.D.2d 589; People v. Corti, 88 A.D.2d 345) and of his claim concerning the sufficiency of the evidence before the Grand Juries ( People v. Zangrillo, 105 A.D.2d 822; People v. Ali, 79 A.D.2d 974). We have considered defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Titone, J.P., Lazer, Thompson and Rubin, JJ., concur.
