People v. Grimes

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
May 25, 1983
94 A.D.2d 957 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983)

Opinion

May 25, 1983

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Barr, J.

Present — Hancock, Jr., J.P., Callahan, Denman, Green and Moule, JJ.


Order unanimously reversed, motion granted and defendant remanded to Monroe County Court for resentencing. Memorandum: It was error for the court to deny the People's motion to sentence defendant as a second felony offender. "A challenge to a plea based on an insufficient factual recitation is to be distinguished from a challenge based on constitutional grounds" and may not properly be raised for the first time in a second felony offender adjudication ( People v Perkins, 89 A.D.2d 956; see, also, People v Fooks, 21 N.Y.2d 338, 350, cert den sub nom. Robinson v New York, 393 U.S. 1067). Nor was any evidence submitted that defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel in the prior proceeding or that there was a "significant possibility" of a conflict of interest as a result of counsel's joint representation in the prior plea negotiations ( People v Monroe, 54 N.Y.2d 35, cert den 455 U.S. 947).
