PEOPLE v. HECHT

The court properly denied defendant's request for new counsel since he failed to demonstrate good cause for such substitution ( see, People v. Sides, 75 N.Y.2d 822). The plea minutes fail to substantiate defendant's claims of coercion or insufficient time to consider the plea and, on the contrary, establish that defendant's plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary ( see, People v. Fiumefreddo, 82 N.Y.2d 536, 543).
