[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Ronnie Scott, appellant.

Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

Timothy Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Marion Tang of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Martin Efman, J.), rendered December 16, 2015, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree and conspiracy in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Since the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty was patently insufficient on its face, the County Court providently exercised its discretion in summarily denying it (see People v Fisher, 28 NY3d 717, 726; People v Mitchell, 21 NY3d 964, 967; People v Lopez-Perez, 128 AD3d 1093).

MASTRO, J.P., HALL, SGROI and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
