Opinion
March 8, 1996
Appeal from the Oneida County Court, Buckley, J.
Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Fallon, Callahan and Boehm, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention that the plea of guilty was involuntary because defendant did not know the nature of the charge against him ( see, People v Moore, 71 N.Y.2d 1002). The record supports the suppression court's determination that defendant was not in custody on June 20, 1991 when he made the statement to the police relevant to this appeal ( see, People v Yukl, 25 N.Y.2d 585, 589, rearg denied 26 N.Y.2d 883, cert denied 400 U.S. 851; cf., People v Mercado, 197 A.D.2d 898). Defense counsel provided meaningful representation ( see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147). The sentence imposed is not unduly harsh or severe.
