People v. Lark

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jul 1, 1999
263 A.D.2d 353 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

July 1, 1999.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy Kahn, J.), rendered February 13, 1997, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of two counts of grand larceny in the fourth degree and one county of bail jumping in the second degree, and sentencing him to terms of 1 to 3 years on the bail jumping conviction and on one of the grand larceny convictions, and, as a second felony offender, to a term of 1 1/2 to 3 years on the remaining grand larceny conviction, all sentences to run concurrently, unanimously affirmed.

PRESENT: Sullivan, J. P., Nardelli, Tom, Saxe and Friedman, JJ.


After a suitable inquiry at which defendant received ample opportunity to be heard, the court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty. Defendant's conclusory and meritless assertions of innocence, coercion and ineffective assistance of counsel did not warrant a hearing or appointment of new counsel to press his frivolous claims ( see, People v. Bonner, 251 A.D.2d 107, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 923).
