PEOPLE v. GOMEZ

Ordered that the notice of appeal, dated May 7, 1993, from the judgments rendered under indictments No. 1286/92, 2679/92, and 2881/92 is deemed amended to include the judgment rendered under indictment No. 336/93 (see, CPL 460.10), and the decision and order of this Court, dated January 11, 1994, assigning counsel is amended accordingly; and it is further,

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, he was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel in connection with his application to withdraw his pleas of guilty (cf., People v Rodriguez, 189 A.D.2d 684; see also, People v. Pernell, 189 A.D.2d 833, 834). Moreover, the court permissibly exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's application (see, e.g., People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926, 927; People v. Jaworowski, 201 A.D.2d 504; People v. Alicea, 191 A.D.2d 702). Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
