THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JAMES WOODARD, Appellant.

The court did not abuse its discretion in denying without a hearing defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, defendant's bare claims of innocence, coercion and ineffective assistance of counsel notwithstanding, where the minutes of the plea proceeding indicate that it was entered knowingly and voluntarily (see, People v. Frederick, 45 N.Y.2d 520; People v Sepulveda, 198 A.D.2d 66, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 930), and that "the opportunity given defendant at the time the motion was made to withdraw his plea — to speak for himself and to have his counsel address the court on his behalf — met the required procedural standard" (People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926, 927).

Concur — Wallach, J.P., Kupferman, Ross, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
