v
Oscar Romero-Hernandez, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 71742/22)
Joseph F. DeFelice, Kew Gardens, NY, for appellant.
Anne T. Donnelly, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Jason R. Richards and David L. Glovin of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Terence P. Murphy, J.), rendered November 22, 2022, convicting him of attempted assault in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court "was under no obligation to conduct a sua sponte inquiry into certain statements [he] made to the probation officer who prepared the presentence report" (People v Ruiz-Solano, 188 AD3d 1267, 1268; see People v Loftus, 183 AD3d 631, 632; People v Ospina, 175 AD3d 513, 514). In any event, the record reflects that the court conducted such an inquiry at the People's request (see People v Ruiz-Solano, 188 AD3d at 1268). To the extent that the defendant contends that the court should have granted his application to withdraw his plea of guilty, the court providently exercised its discretion in denying that application (see CPL 220.60[3]; People v Fisher, 28 NY3d 717, 726; People v Corines, 204 AD3d 827, 828; People v Prunesti, 193 AD3d 984, 985).
LASALLE, P.J., BRATHWAITE NELSON, DOWLING and VENTURA, JJ., concur.
ENTER:Darrell M. Joseph
Clerk of the Court
