Opinion
October 9, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, New York County (Rose Rubin, J., at plea; Harold Beeler, J., at sentencing).
Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea was properly denied after sufficient inquiry. Contrary to defendant's conclusory allegations made at sentencing and on appeal, the record establishes that the plea was entered knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily ( see, People v. Frederick, 45 N.Y.2d 520) and that defendant received effective assistance of counsel at all stages of the proceedings ( see, People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404). By withdrawing his pending suppression motions in connection with his guilty plea, defendant waived appellate review of any suppression issues ( People v. Fernandez, 67 N.Y.2d 686). Review of defendant's remaining contentions, all of which are meritless in any event, is foreclosed by defendant's guilty plea ( People v. Taylor, 65 N.Y.2d 1).
