Opinion
March 4, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Dwyer, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
In view of the fact that defendant was fully advised of his Miranda rights prior to giving his statement to the police at the precinct, the trial court did not err in refusing to suppress defendant's statement. On this point, we find no merit to defendant's contention that the waiver of his Miranda rights was involuntary since it was a result of deceptive assurances by a police officer that defendant would not be arrested. The officer denied ever making any such representation. To the extent that the officer told defendant's mother that if her son cooperated "maybe something" could be done, we find that such a remark did not create a substantial risk that the defendant might falsely incriminate himself thereby warranting suppression of defendant's station house statement (CPL 60.45 [b] [i]). Additionally, it is significant to note that the remark was made while the officer was at defendant's home more than two hours before defendant voluntarily appeared at the station house for questioning.
Defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of his plea allocution was not preserved for appellate review since he failed to move in the court of first instance to withdraw his plea or vacate the judgment ( People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v. Moore, 91 A.D.2d 1050). In any event, the record clearly indicates that defendant was fully advised of his rights prior to the entering of his guilty plea and thus his plea will not be vacated ( People v. Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9; People v. Nixon, 21 N.Y.2d 338, cert denied sub nom. Robinson v. New York, 393 U.S. 1067).
Finally, the imposed sentence of an indeterminate prison term of 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years, which was bargained for by defendant, was not harsh or excessive and thus will not be disturbed on appeal ( People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Gibbons, J.P., Weinstein, Brown and Eiber, JJ., concur.
