PEOPLE v. MOTA

Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

The record discloses that the defendant was fully advised of the rights he would be waiving by pleading guilty and that he sufficiently admitted the underlying facts of the crimes for which he now stands convicted. Contrary to the defendant's assertions, his belated and unsubstantiated claim of innocence does not render the plea proceedings defective and the judgments of conviction are, accordingly, affirmed (see, People v. Morris, 118 A.D.2d 595; People v. Stubbs, 110 A.D.2d 725). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Rubin and Eiber, JJ., concur.
