The People v. Stephen Pellegrino
The People v. Stephen Pellegrino
Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Term should be affirmed.
A guilty plea is not invalid solely because the trial court failed to recite a defendant’s constitutional rights under Boykin v Alabama (395 US 238 [1969]; see People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375 [2015] [decided herewith]). The record as a whole, however, must affirmatively demonstrate that defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived those rights (see People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 17 [1983]).
Dissenting Opinion
(dissenting). I dissent for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in People v Conceicao (26 NY3d 375 [2015] [decided herewith]).
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, in a memorandum.
