PEOPLE v. GRIGGER

The court properly denied defendant's request to withdraw his guilty plea, without further inquiry, where defendant made bare claims of innocence and confusion and the court was familiar with the plea proceedings, the record of which belies such claims (People v. Ortiz, 221 A.D.2d 176). Defendant knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty and the court gave him ample opportunity to elaborate upon his claims (People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926, 927).
