ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The determination of whether to permit the withdrawal of a plea of guilty rests within the sound discretion of the court (see CPL 220.60; People v. Marzocco, 278 A.D.2d 515; People v. DeLeon, 254 A.D.2d 430, 431). In this case, the County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea, without a hearing, since his unsubstantiated claims of coercion and dissatisfaction with his attorney's representation were refuted by his statements during the plea allocution (see People v. Fernandez, 291 A.D.2d 456; People v. DeLeon, supra).
PRUDENTI, P.J., O'BRIEN, McGINITY and CRANE, JJ., concur.
