| Parties | , 429 N.E.2d 826 The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Henry BILLINGSLEY, Appellant. |
| Decision Date | 27 October 1981 |
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, 76 A.D.2d 764, 429 N.Y.S.2d 337.
There was no deficiency in the court's inquiry of defendant or in defendant's responses on the occasion of the acceptance of his plea of guilty. Reference was then included to the defendant's claim that the gun was fired in self-defense. Defendant's postplea assertion of innocence predicated on the theory of self-defense in no way vitiated the validity of his prior, counseled plea of guilty. There was, therefore, no abuse of discretion in the denial of defendant's postsentencing motion to withdraw his plea.
We have examined defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.

People v. Tillinghast
...... Under these circumstances, defendant's post-plea assertion of innocence based on the defenses of agency and entrapment does not vitiate his plea (see, People v. Billingsley, 54 N.Y.2d 960, 445 N.Y.S.2d 148, 429 N.E.2d 826). Therefore, we find that County Court did not abuse its discretion in summarily denying defendant's motion after giving him an opportunity to state the basis of his withdrawal application (see, People v. Burke, 197 A.D.2d 731, 602 N.Y.S.2d 243; ......
