People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 11, 1988
142 A.D.2d 656 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

July 11, 1988

Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Colabella, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claim with respect to the sufficiency of the court's inquiry at the time of his guilty plea is not preserved for appellate review as a matter of law (see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; People v. Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Fuentes, 125 A.D.2d 328, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 827). In any event, the minutes of the plea proceeding demonstrate that the plea was knowingly and voluntarily made by the defendant and was not the product of threats or coercion.

Additionally, the defendant's claim that he was denied an opportunity to make a statement prior to the imposition of sentence is clearly refuted by the transcript of the sentencing proceeding, and the sentence imposed was neither harsh nor excessive (see, e.g., People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816; People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mollen, P.J., Lawrence, Eiber, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
