People v. Kessler

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 1, 1989
150 A.D.2d 390 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

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.
