Opinion
May 6, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence Tonetti, J.).
Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea was properly denied, after sufficient inquiry, and reassignment of counsel was not required. Counsel was not ineffective because of his refusal to join in defendant's pro se motion to withdraw his plea ( see, People v. Kelly, 232 A.D.2d 314). The minutes of the plea belie defendant's bare claims that he pleaded guilty only because he was nervous and confused ( see, People v. Williams, 210 A.D.2d 168, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 867).
