Opinion
October 7, 1992
Appeal from the Onondaga County Court, Cunningham, J.
Present — Boomer, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Fallon and Doerr, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The record does not support defendant's contention that County Court coerced him to abandon his request to vacate his guilty plea. We reject the further contention raised for the first time on appeal that defendant's waiver of indictment was invalid because he was not properly held for Grand Jury action (see, CPL 180.30; 195.10 [1] [a]; People v Holmes, 175 A.D.2d 650, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 1012). Where, as here, the record of the plea proceedings indicates that the court was satisfied with the sufficiency of the waiver and that it executed an order to that effect (see, CPL 195.30), we may presume that the matter was properly before it (see, People v Washington, 138 A.D.2d 857, 858; see also, People v Hart, 171 A.D.2d 755, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 967). We find that the representation afforded defendant was meaningful (see, People v Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796; People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).
