CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

T.L. Chiofolo, Howard Beach, for respondent.

R.A. Glovin, New York City, for defendant-appellant.

Before ROSS, J.P., and MILONAS, WALLACH and RUBIN, JJ.

MEMORANDUM DECISION.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Frank Diaz, J.), rendered June 22, 1987, convicting defendant, upon his guilty plea, of sodomy in the first degree, and sentencing him as a second felony offender to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of from 4 1/2 to 9 years, is unanimously affirmed.

We find no support in the record for defendant's contention that his guilty plea was coerced. Nor is defendant's bald assertion of innocence credible, given his voluntary admission, made upon the advice of competent counsel, of having committed the acts charged. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his plea without a hearing (see, People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926, 365 N.Y.S.2d 161, 324 N.E.2d 544; People v. Dixon, 29 N.Y.2d 55, 323 N.Y.S.2d 825, 272 N.E.2d 329; People v. Tannenbaum, 116 A.D.2d 677, 497 N.Y.S.2d 745).
