People v. Dumas

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 6, 1992
180 A.D.2d 845 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

February 6, 1992

Appeal from the County Court, Franklin County (Main, Jr., J.).


Initially, we note that upon his plea of guilty defendant waived his right to appeal the conviction (see, People v. Brown, 160 A.D.2d 1039). In any event, the record fails to substantiate his claim that the People failed to keep their promise under the plea bargain with respect to their recommendation as to sentence. To support his claim, defendant points to some letters outside the record; these letters, however, were written prior to the plea. The record shows that at the plea County Court clearly and specifically stated the terms of the plea and defendant agreed without objection (see, People v. Linares, 174 A.D.2d 847). We likewise reject defendant's contention that he was denied effective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

Weiss, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr. and Crew III, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
