Opinion
September 30, 1994
Appeal from the Cattaraugus County Court, Himelein, J.
Present — Green, J.P., Balio, Wesley, Callahan and Boehm, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment in the first degree. We reject the contention of defendant that County Court erred in accepting his guilty plea without a sufficient factual allocution. Because defendant pleaded guilty to a crime lesser than the crimes initially charged, a factual allocution was not necessary (see, People v. Pelchat, 62 N.Y.2d 97, 108; People v. Clairborne, 29 N.Y.2d 950, 951; People v. Nunez, 177 A.D.2d 656).
We have reviewed the remaining contention raised by defendant and conclude that it is without merit (see, People v Taylor, 65 N.Y.2d 1; see also, CPL 220.60; People v. Mayers, 74 N.Y.2d 931).
