Opinion
January 24, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Marshall, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Doerr, Boomer, Green and Pine, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant seeks to vacate his plea of guilty to attempted robbery in the second degree (Penal Law § 110.00, 160.10 Penal). Viewing the record of the plea proceeding in its entirety, we conclude that defendant admitted the material elements of the crime to which he pleaded guilty. In any event, before accepting this reduced plea on a multicount indictment, the court took appropriate "precautions to assure that the defendant [was] aware of what he [was] doing" (People v Serrano, 15 N.Y.2d 304, 310).
There is no merit to defendant's claim that the sentence imposed by the court was harsh and excessive.
