Opinion
November 23, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Leahy, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant, in his factual recitation of the underlying event, did not indicate that he shot the victim in self-defense. Accordingly, the court, prior to its acceptance of the defendant's plea of guilty, was not required to question the defendant as to a potential justification defense (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; cf., People v Thomas, 159 A.D.2d 529). Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, O'Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
