Opinion
April 20, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County, Nicolai, J., Cowhey, J.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the court erred in denying his application to withdraw his guilty plea is without merit. The defendant's claims of innocence are totally unsubstantiated and without support in the record. The record discloses that the defendant was fully advised of all of the rights he would be waiving by pleading guilty. Moreover, during the plea allocution, the defendant readily admitted the underlying facts of the crimes (see, People v Morris, 118 A.D.2d 595, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 947).
The defendant's contention that the court abused its discretion in sentencing him is also without merit. He received the sentence he was promised (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Moreover, in light of the nature of the crimes, the sentence was appropriate (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
We have reviewed the remaining contentions raised in the supplemental brief and by the defendant pro se and have found them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Niehoff, Weinstein, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
