Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant, in his factual recitation of the underlying event, did not indicate that he shot the victim in self-defense. Accordingly, the court, prior to its acceptance of the defendant's plea of guilty, was not required to question the defendant as to a potential justification defense (see, People v Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662; cf., People v Thomas, 159 A.D.2d 529). Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, O'Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
