People v. Corso

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 11, 1992
183 A.D.2d 774 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

May 11, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McInerney, J.).


Ordered that this judgment is affirmed.

Prior to the court's acceptance of his plea of guilty, the defendant, through counsel, withdrew "all motions * * * already ruled upon * * * or presently before [the] court", thereby withdrawing his pre-trial motion to suppress taperecordings obtained under the authority of certain eavesdropping warrants. Accordingly, the defendant waived his right to seek review of the trial court's suppression ruling upon appeal from the judgment of conviction (see, People v. Battista, 167 A.D.2d 344).

Our review of the plea allocution indicates that the defendant, who was not a stranger to the criminal justice system, was fully advised of his rights, readily admitted his guilt, and was at all times ably represented by counsel. His present claim that he did not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently enter into the plea agreement is therefore without merit (see, People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v. Thompson, 140 A.D.2d 652; People v. Sickler, 117 A.D.2d 880).

We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contentions, including his claim of excessive sentence, and find them to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Pizzuto and Santucci, JJ., concur.
