Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Sep 29, 1995
219 A.D.2d 864 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 29, 1995

Appeal from the Cayuga County Court, Corning, J.

Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Fallon, Doerr and Balio, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: During his plea colloquy, defendant admitted that he grabbed a money bag from the victim. County Court satisfied its duty to inquire further "to ensure that defendant [understood] the nature of the charge and that the plea [was] intelligently entered" (People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666; see, People v Toxey, 86 N.Y.2d 725; People v Francis, 38 N.Y.2d 150, 153). In response to the court's question, "So you forcibly took this property from somebody on Wall Street?", defendant answered in the affirmative. That response demonstrates that defendant's guilty plea was knowing and voluntary.
