PEOPLE v. LEWIS

The court's statements to defendant concerning the potential sentence parameters if defendant were convicted after trial did not coerce defendant into pleading guilty, and we find the plea to be knowing and voluntary ( People v. Moore, 240 A.D.2d 214; People v. Cornelio, 227 A.D.2d 248, lv denied 88 N.Y.2d 982). The sentence imposed following defendant's violation of the plea conditions was a proper exercise of discretion.

Concur — Ellerin, J.P., Rubin, Tom, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
