Opinion
April 11, 2000.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (William Wetzel, J.), rendered October 31, 1997, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 6 years to life, unanimously affirmed.
Sandra E. Cavazos, for respondent.
Noah A. Kinigstein, for defendant-appellant.
LERNER, J.P., ANDRIAS, SAXE, BUCKLEY, FRIEDMAN, JJ.
Defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was properly denied after defendant was afforded a sufficient opportunity to be heard. The sentencing court's inquiry was sufficient under the circumstances. Defendant expressly withdrew his challenge to the predicate felony statement. We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining claims.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
