PEOPLE v. FERNANDEZ
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Jun 29, 1987
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There are no grounds, other than an argument involving matters dehors the record, to support the defendant's claims that he was deprived of his right to the effective assistance of counsel or that his plea was coerced. On the record before us, there is no evidence that the defendant was deprived of meaningful representation (see, People v Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796; People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147).
Moreover, the defendant failed to preserve an objection to his plea by not moving in the court of first instance to withdraw the plea (see, People v Pellegrino, 60 N.Y.2d 636; People v Green, 111 A.D.2d 349). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Weinstein, Eiber and Harwood, JJ., concur.
