People v. Martin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 2, 1994
204 A.D.2d 353 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

May 2, 1994

Appeal from the County Court, Dutchess County, Hillery, J., King, J.


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The record amply demonstrates that the defendant knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered his pleas of guilty (see, People v. Bangert, 107 A.D.2d 752; see also, People v. Parker, 191 A.D.2d 717; People v. Gomez, 174 A.D.2d 949; People v. Seger, 171 A.D.2d 892; People v. Barnett, 136 A.D.2d 555; People v. Gosso, 130 A.D.2d 683). The defendant's claim of incompetence due to his lack of medication at the time of the pleas is unsupported by the record (see, People v. Gomez, supra; People v. Seger, supra; People v. Bangert, supra). Therefore, the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's motions to withdraw his pleas without a hearing (see, People v Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926; People v. Elliott, 187 A.D.2d 666; People v. Buckley, 139 A.D.2d 589; People v. Corwise, 120 A.D.2d 604). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Joy and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
