Decision Date15 March 2001
Citation281 A.D.2d 245,721 N.Y.S.2d 535
PartiesTHE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,<BR>v.<BR>RAFAEL M. PANTOJA, JR., Also Known as RALPH M. PANTOJA, Appellant.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Concur — Sullivan, P. J., Rosenberger, Williams, Mazzarelli and Friedman, JJ.

Since nothing in defendant's plea allocution cast doubt on the voluntariness of his plea (see, People v Toxey, 86 NY2d 725), and since defendant made no motion to withdraw his plea, the court was under no obligation to conduct a sua sponte inquiry into defendant's denial of guilt to the probation officer preparing the presentence report (see, People v Negron, 222 AD2d 327, lv denied 88 NY2d 882).

Defendant's valid waiver of the right to appeal forecloses review of his excessive sentence claim (People v Seaberg, 74 NY2d 1, 9-10).
