THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. VINCENT CAPUTO, Appellant.

MEMORANDUM. Critical to defendant's rights to be relieved of his plea of guilty is whether he was misled by the court's advice to him before his guilty plea was accepted. To establish reliance on the representations made to him he would have been required to show that he believed them and that he was not otherwise advised by his lawyer or anyone else before he pleaded guilty. He could have done this by a motion to vacate his plea or by way of a motion to vacate the judgment of conviction under CPL 440.10 supported by an affidavit or affidavits showing justifiable reliance. Since this was not done the order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Chief Judge BREITEL and Judge JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE concur.

Order affirmed in memorandum.
