After a thorough hearing, the court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea in a well-reasoned oral opinion. The record establishes that the plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary, and fails to support defendant's claim that the influence of medications rendered him incompetent to plead guilty ( see People v. Alexander, 97 NY2d 482; People v. Bess, 299 AD2d 263, lv denied 99 NY2d 580).
