PEOPLE v. WATERS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The court properly denied, without a hearing, the defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty because the record of the plea proceedings, in which the defendant expressly stated under oath that he was not coerced or threatened into pleading guilty, belied his claim of coercion (see, People v. Murray, 245 A.D.2d 531; People v. Breeden, 221 A.D.2d 352; People v. Richardson, 214 A.D.2d 624). Moreover, the court did not err in refusing to assign new counsel to represent the defendant on his motion (see, People v. Murray, supra; People v. Richardson, supra).

Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Joy, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
