Opinion
October 11, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Flug, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's unsupported conclusory allegations that he was innocent and that assigned counsel had pressured him into pleading guilty were insufficient to establish good cause for the substitution of assigned counsel (People v. Sturgis, 199 A.D.2d 549; People v. Tuttle, 141 A.D.2d 584).
Moreover, under this set of circumstances, where the defendant was not a criminal novice, and his allocution adequately factually established his guilt of the crime charged, it was not an improvident exercise of the court's discretion to deny the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea without conducting a further inquiry (see, CPL 220.60; People v. Dickerson, 163 A.D.2d 610). Thompson, J.P., Miller, O'Brien, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
