People v. Addeo

Feb 13, 1996
Versions:224 A.D.2d 539
638 N.Y.S.2d 351
1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1184

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pesce, J.), rendered February 6, 1995, convicting him of assault in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (5).

The Supreme Court correctly denied the defendant’s motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. The plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary in all respects (see, People v Billings, 208 AD2d 941; People v Williams, 206 AD2d 398; see also, People v Moloney, 216 AD2d 163). The defendant admitted his guilt without protest (see, People v Latimer, 176 AD2d 350) and he expressly acknowledged that as part of his plea, he was waiving any claim of self defense (see, People v McGriff, 216 AD2d 330). He acknowledged that he had discussed his plea with counsel and was satisfied with the representation he received (see, People v Tuttle, 141 AD2d 584). Accordingly, the defendant’s present unsupported, conclusory contentions do not warrant reversal (see, People v Miller, 54 AD2d 765, affd 42 NY2d 946).

We have reviewed the defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, P. J., Copertino, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
