William L. Murphy, Dist. Atty., Staten Island (Yolanda L. Rudich, of counsel), for respondent.
Before BRACKEN, J.P., and LAWRENCE, MILLER, COPERTINO and SANTUCCI, JJ.
MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Felig, J.), rendered January 3, 1991, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The court did not err in accepting the defendant's guilty plea without inquiring as to whether he was knowingly and voluntarily waiving certain defenses. A review of the plea minutes fails to indicate that the defendant's factual recitation negated an essential element of the crime or raised any defenses (see, People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 666, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5; cf. People v. Thomas, 159 A.D.2d 529, 552 N.Y.S.2d 394).
