People v. Tavarez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 26, 1989
151 A.D.2d 793 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

June 26, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Cunningham, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that his guilty plea must be vacated because the factual recitation was legally insufficient to establish the elements of the crime to which he pleaded is without merit. Under the circumstances of this case, where there was a bargained-for guilty plea to a lesser crime, and the defendant was aware of the circumstances of the crime with which he was charged, the trial court was not required to elicit a factual basis for the crime to which the defendant entered a guilty plea (see, People v. Grate, 130 A.D.2d 590; People v Epps, 122 A.D.2d 587).

The defendant's contention that the court improperly denied his motion to suppress a written statement and identification testimony is foreclosed by his agreement, as a condition of his plea, to "withdraw * * * any motions either pending or decided" (see, People v. Fox, 128 A.D.2d 722; People v. Feingold, 125 A.D.2d 587). Brown, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
