PEOPLE v. MURRAY III (1999)

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Budd Goodman, J.), rendered July 27, 1995, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.

 There was no violation of defendant's right to counsel at the court-ordered lineup since the Legal Aid Society was duly notified and an attorney was provided.   Defendant's claim that he requested the presence of the attorney representing him in a pending, unrelated Westchester County matter is unsupported by the record and the People were under no obligation to notify that attorney (People v. Walker, 216 A.D.2d 426, 628 N.Y.S.2d 950;  cf., People v. Coates, 74 N.Y.2d 244, 249, 544 N.Y.S.2d 992, 543 N.E.2d 440).

 Defendant's motion to withdraw his plea was properly denied.   The court's review of defendant's written motion constituted a sufficient inquiry (People v. Swinson, 240 A.D.2d 299, 659 N.Y.S.2d 747, lv. denied 90 N.Y.2d 911, 663 N.Y.S.2d 523, 686 N.E.2d 235).   The record of the plea proceedings and the court's own recollection established that defendant's plea was voluntarily entered into with a full understanding of the consequences, belying defendant's unsupported claim that he was under the influence of drugs at the time (see, People v. Clarke, 251 A.D.2d 7, 673 N.Y.S.2d 648).
