People v. Saunders

291 A.D.2d 213, 737 N.Y.S.2d 278, 2002 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1442

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (James Yates, J.), rendered March 29, 2000, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and bail jumping in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 4V2 to 9 years, 4V2 to 9 years and 2 to 4 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s motion to withdraw his pleas was properly denied after a suitable inquiry in which defendant received an adequate opportunity to be heard (see, People v Frederick, 45 NY2d 520). The record fails to support any of the grounds upon which defendant sought to withdraw his plea. Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P., Saxe, Sullivan, Wallach and Friedman, JJ.
