Opinion
December 21, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Moskowitz, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Upon our review of the minutes of the plea proceedings, we find that the defendant's plea was knowing and voluntary and that the allocution was factually sufficient (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v Harris, 61 N.Y.2d 9).
In addition, we find no merit to the defendant's contention that he should have been permitted to withdraw his guilty plea. The decision to permit the withdrawal of a guilty plea rests within the sound discretion of the court (see, CPL 220.60; People v Dickerson, 163 A.D.2d 610).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, O'Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
