PEOPLE v. CAMACHO

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Contrary to the contention of defendant, County Court did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. "The conclusory allegation of defendant that his counsel had pressured him to plead guilty is insufficient to require vacatur of the plea" ( People v. Miller, 252 A.D.2d 984, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 984). In any event, the allegations of defendant in support of the motion are belied by his statements during the plea proceeding ( see People v. Beaty, 303 A.D.2d 965, lv denied 100 N.Y.2d 559; People v. Rickard, 262 A.D.2d 1073, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 828; Miller, 252 A.D.2d 984).

Defendant further contends that the court erred in denying his application to defer the mandatory surcharge. His waiver of the right to appeal, however, encompasses that contention ( see People v. Smith, 309 A.D.2d 1282, 1283). In any event, although a court has the authority to defer the mandatory surcharge, the court here properly denied the application inasmuch as "defendant failed to establish that he suffered any hardships different from those of other indigent inmates" ( id.; see People v. Kistner, 291 A.D.2d 856).
