People v. Grimsley

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 3, 1993
193 A.D.2d 618 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

May 3, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Kuffner, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant failed to move to vacate his plea of guilty. Thus, his current claims of error are not preserved for appellate review (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636).

In any event, we reject the defendant's contention that he was coerced into pleading guilty because the court incorrectly informed him as to the possible sentences he could receive if he proceeded to trial. Although the court did not give a complete description of the minimum and maximum sentences, should the defendant proceed to trial, the court made a correct statement of the law in describing the sentencing alternatives (see, People v Fulmore, 189 A.D.2d 823), and the defendant was not materially misled. Bracken, J.P., Miller, Lawrence, Copertino and Santucci, JJ., concur.
