People v. Cowley
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There is nothing in the plea and sentencing proceedings to indicate that the defendant’s plea did not "represent a voluntary and intelligent choice” (North Carolina v Alford, 400 US 25, 31; see also, People v Francabandera, 33 NY2d 429, 434). Additionally, we find no improvident exercise of discretion in the court’s denial of the defendant’s application to withdraw his plea (see, People v Brown, 142 AD2d 683). Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Harwood, Rosenblatt and Copertino, JJ., concur.
