People v. Nash

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 12, 1996
229 A.D.2d 916 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

July 12, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Mark, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Fallon, Callahan and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention of defendant that Supreme Court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea or grant him a one-week adjournment. "Whether to permit a defendant to withdraw a previously entered guilty plea is a decision that rests within the sound discretion of the court" ( People v. Cantu, 202 A.D.2d 1033). Defendant had ample opportunity to advise the court of the grounds upon which he sought to withdraw the plea ( see, People v Jackson, 186 A.D.2d 389, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 790) and had been granted numerous previous adjournments. We conclude that, under the circumstances, the court conducted a sufficient inquiry and did not abuse its discretion.
