Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying, without a hearing, the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. The defendant's conclusory and unsupported assertion of innocence, and claim that he was pressured into pleading guilty, did not warrant vacating his plea (see, People v. Barnett, 258 A.D.2d 526; People v. Quijada-Lopez, 256 A.D.2d 478). Additionally, his contention that his medication made it impossible for him to understand and appreciate the proceedings is contradicted by the record of the plea proceedings (see, People v. Quijada-Lopez, supra; People v. DeLeon, 254 A.D.2d 430; People v. Waters, 252 A.D.2d 564).
