THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. SAMUEL WRIGHT, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

It is well established that decisions regarding withdrawal of guilty pleas rest within the sound discretion of the trial court ( People v. Francis, 38 N.Y.2d 150, 153-156; People v. Tinsley, 35 N.Y.2d 926, 927). The court did not abuse its discretion in denying, after a hearing, defendant's motion to withdraw his plea of guilty. The plea minutes establish that the plea was knowingly and voluntarily entered with the assistance of counsel. We further note that defendant had two prior felony convictions rendered upon pleas of guilty and made only a conclusory, unsupported allegation of innocence in support of his request to withdraw this plea. Mollen, P.J., Niehoff, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
