The court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The record fails to support defendant's claim that the voluntariness of his plea was impaired by the medication that he was taking ( see People v. Alexander, 97 N.Y.2d 482; People v. Rodriguez, 302 A.D.2d 317, lv denied 99 N.Y.2d 657). During the plea allocution he expressly denied that such medication had any effect upon his capacity to understand what was happening. Furthermore, an examination of the minutes of the plea and subsequent court appearances supports the court's conclusion that defendant was lucid and competent at the time of his plea.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
