People v. Smith (250 A.D.2d 448, 1998)

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Mary McGowan Davis, J.), rendered June 7, 1996, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 2V2 to 5 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s motion to withdraw his plea was properly denied without a hearing. The record indicates that a favorable plea was entered after a thorough allocution, and that defendant admitted that he committed the charged acts, negating defendant’s conclusory claims of innocence, coercion, and ineffective assistance of counsel (see, People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536; People v Swinson, 240 AD2d 299, lv denied 90 NY2d 911). Defendant was afforded a reasonable opportunity to present his claims in statements made to the court and no further inquiry was necessary. Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Williams and Tom, JJ.
