Argued May 7, 1985
Decision released June 18, 1985
Information charging the defendant with the crime of larceny in the first degree by receiving stolen property, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Fairfield and presented to the court, McKeever, J., on a plea of guilty; judgment of guilty after the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was denied, from which the defendant appealed to this court. No error.
Daniel V. Presnick, for the appellant (defendant).
Richard F. Jacobson, assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were Donald A. Browns, state's attorney, and Gary Nicholson, assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (plaintiff).
The defendant pleaded guilty to larceny in the first degree by receiving stolen property in violation of General Statutes 53a-122 (a)(2) after plea negotiations. After canvassing the defendant, the trial court accepted the plea of guilty under the Alford doctrine, and continued the case for sentencing. Before sentencing, through new counsel the defendant moved to withdraw the plea of guilty, claiming various infirmities in the trial court's acceptance of that plea. The trial court denied the motion and sentenced the defendant. From judgment following that denial, the defendant has appealed to this court.
North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970).
After reviewing the record and transcript in this matter, we find no basis on which to disturb the judgment of the trial court.
