People v. Diallo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided October 13, 2011PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Defendant claims that, at the time of the plea allocution, the court was obligated to ask defendant if he understood he was giving up any psychiatric defense. Initially we note that defendant has not moved to withdraw his guilty plea. Moreover, this case does not come within the narrow exception to the preservation requirement (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662 [1988]), because there was nothing in the plea allocution that cast doubt on defendant’s guilt or raised any defense, psychiatric or otherwise. Accordingly, this claim is unpreserved and we decline to review it in the interest of justice.
