Opinion
8311.
April 20, 2006.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Joan C. Sudolnik, J., at plea; Renee A. White, J., at sentence), rendered January 25, 2005, convicting defendant of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 10 years, unanimously affirmed.
Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Jan Hoth of counsel), for appellant.
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Elizabeth Weiskopf of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Saxe, J.P., Nardelli, Williams, Catterson and Malone, JJ.
The sentencing court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty ( see People v. Frederick, 45 NY2d 520). Defendant received a reasonable opportunity to advance his claims, and the record shows that defendant's plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary, and that counsel provided effective assistance ( see People v. Ford, 86 NY2d 397, 404).
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
