In light of defendant's unsubstantiated claims of innocence, the court's limited inquiry into defendant's motion to withdraw the plea was sufficient ( People v. Baez, 188 A.D.2d 365). Moreover, defendant was not denied an opportunity to present his claims because of the court's warning that he would be "gagged" if he continued to speak. This warning was issued after defendant had twice interrupted the proceedings and after the court had made inquiry into defendant's application and denied it. In any event, the court's warning did not prevent defendant from speaking on two more occasions after its issuance. Even on those occasions, defendant failed to provide the court with a basis for granting the motion. In addition, the court was entitled to rely on the plea colloquy, which established defendant's guilt ( People v. Kirkland, 193 A.D.2d 407, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 708) and which revealed that the plea was knowing and voluntary.
