Opinion
May 1, 1989
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Sherman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant — who conceded his fitness to stand trial and his ability to consult meaningfully with counsel — was competent to enter a plea of guilty under the circumstances (see, People v Francabandera, 33 N.Y.2d 429; People v Owens, 111 A.D.2d 274). Further, the plea allocution satisfied the requirements of People v Harris ( 61 N.Y.2d 9), in that the defendant was represented by counsel, acknowledged his guilt and pleaded guilty knowingly and voluntarily pursuant to a negotiated agreement under which he received the minimum permissible sentence. Mangano, J.P., Brown, Lawrence, Kooper and Harwood, JJ., concur.
