Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie Wittner, J.), rendered January 22, 1997, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a determinate term of 7 years, unanimously affirmed.

After a sufficient inquiry, the court properly denied defendant’s application to withdraw his guilty plea. The record demonstrates that the court afforded defendant a reasonable opportunity to present his claim and was sufficiently familiar with the case to assess it (People v Williams, 210 AD2d 161). Defendant made only the conclusory claim that his attorney’s performance was “insufficient” and the record demonstrates that defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into a favorable plea, after a thorough allocution in which he unequivocally admitted that he committed the acts charged. We have considered and rejected defendant’s remaining claims. Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Nardelli, Mazzarelli, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
