DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Under the circumstances of this case, it was not an improvident exercise of the court's discretion to deny the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty without conducting further inquiry into the matter ( see, CPL 220.60; People v. Dickerson, 163 A.D.2d 610).
