Decision Date | 06 December 2004 |
Docket Number | 2000-07540.,2000-07542. |
Citation | 13 A.D.3d 402,2004 NY Slip Op 09115,785 N.Y.S.2d 542 |
Parties | THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. KYLE WATSON, Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
The decision whether to permit the withdrawal of a plea of guilty rests within the sound discretion of the court (see CPL 220.60 [3]; People v Raymond, 3 AD3d 587 [2004]; People v Scott, 2 AD3d 884 [2003]). The County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's request at sentencing to withdraw his plea of guilty to murder in the second degree. The plea was entered voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently (see People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 543 [1993]; People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662, 666 [1988]; People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17 [1983]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
