Opinion
Argued October 16, 1961
Decided October 19, 1961
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, MANUEL A. GOMEZ, M.
William G. Mulligan and Sidney J. Ungar for appellant.
Leo A. Larkin, Corporation Counsel ( Seymour B. Quel of counsel), for respondent.
Judgments affirmed upon the ground that we find no abuse of discretion as a matter of law. No opinion.
Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, FROESSEL, BURKE and FOSTER. Judge VAN VOORHIS dissents and votes to reverse the judgments of conviction and to permit defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty upon the ground that the City Magistrate's refusal to permit the withdrawal of the plea of guilty constituted an abuse of discretion as a matter of law. I concur in the dissenting opinion in the Appellate Division.
