Opinion
January 16, 1990
Appeal from the County Court, Rockland County (Nelson, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The record discloses that the defendant was fully advised of all the rights he would be waiving by pleading guilty. During the plea allocution, the defendant admitted the underlying facts of the crime. The defendant's belated unsubstantiated claim that he had become aware of witnesses who he believed would exculpate him if they were to testify at a trial does not render the plea procedurally or substantively defective (see, People v. Morris, 118 A.D.2d 595).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit (see, People v. Sawyer, 83 A.D.2d 205, 208, affd 57 N.Y.2d 12, cert denied 459 U.S. 1178). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Eiber and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
