October 29, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie Wittner, J.).
After a sufficient inquiry, the court properly denied defendant's application to withdraw his guilty plea. The record demonstrates that the court afforded defendant a reasonable opportunity to present his claim and was sufficiently familiar with the case to assess it ( People v. Williams, 210 A.D.2d 161). Defendant made only the conclusory claim that his attorney's performance was "insufficient" and the record demonstrates that defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into a favorable plea, after a thorough allocution in which he unequivocally admitted that he committed the acts charged. We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining claims.
