People v. Boyle
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.), rendered December 15,1983, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of stolen property in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence as a second felony offender.
Judgment affirmed.
The defendant contends that his conviction should be reversed because his plea of guilty was based upon an insufficient allocution or, in the alternative, he should be resentenced because his status as a second felony offender was based upon an unconstitutional prior plea. By failing to make a motion to withdraw his plea or vacate his conviction to the court of first instance, the
The predicate felony conviction, also resulting from a plea of guilty, likewise contained no constitutional defects. A guilty plea is not invalid solely because the court failed to specifically enumerate all the defendant’s rights and elicit from him a detailed list of waivers (People v Harris, supra, p 16). Further, it was not necessary for the defendant to be expressly advised at the time of his prior guilty plea that the conviction would provide a predicate for a more severe sentence should he commit another felony (see, People v McGrath, 43 NY2d 803). Lazer, J. P., Mangano, O’Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
