People v. Torres

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Felice Shea, J.), rendered April 16, 1993, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 5½ to 11 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s bare claims of innocence and coercion at sentencing did not warrant further inquiry by the court into the validity of what was a very beneficial plea, given a record *421devoid of any suggestion of confusion or doubt on defendant’s part as to the rights being waived and other consequences of pleading guilty (see, People v Billingsley, 54 NY2d 960; People v Williams, 210 AD2d 168, lv denied 85 NY2d 867). Nor was there any abuse of sentencing discretion. Concur—Ellerin, J. P., Rubin, Nardelli, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
