PEOPLE v. SCHULZ (2006)

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon a guilty plea, of sodomy in the first degree (Penal Law former § 130.50[3] ) and sexual abuse in the first degree (§ 130.65[3] ).   Supreme Court properly denied defendant's motion to withdraw the plea, inasmuch as the record establishes that the plea was knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered (see People v. Morris, 30 A.D.3d 632, 817 N.Y.S.2d 163).   Contrary to the further contentions of defendant, he was not denied effective assistance of counsel (see generally People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147, 444 N.Y.S.2d 893, 429 N.E.2d 400), and the bill of particulars was sufficiently specific with respect to its description of the date and time and of the alleged crimes as well as the location where they were committed (see generally People v. Watt, 81 N.Y.2d 772, 774-775, 593 N.Y.S.2d 782, 609 N.E.2d 135;  People v. Morris, 61 N.Y.2d 290, 293-296, 473 N.Y.S.2d 769, 461 N.E.2d 1256).   We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit.

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
