The court properly determined, after conducting a limited inquiry, that there was no merit to defendant's challenge of the predicate felony statement, and that a hearing was thus not required (see, People v. Adams, 111 A.D.2d 397). Further, since the court fully considered and denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea before defense counsel testified that he had not coerced defendant into pleading guilty, the defendant was not denied effective assistance of counsel (People v. Rodriguez, 189 A.D.2d 684, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 892).
