Opinion
February 9, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We find no merit to the defendant's contention, raised for the first time on appeal, that the judgment should be modified by reducing the conviction to attempted burglary in the third degree, as a result of the insufficient factual recitation during the plea proceeding. "[T]he mere fact that defendant's allocution did not establish the essential elements of the crime to which he pleaded guilty [is] not, in itself, fatal with regard to the propriety of the plea" (see, People v. Wedgewood, 106 A.D.2d 674, 676). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Rubin and Eiber, JJ., concur.
