Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v William L. Taylor, Appellant.
[731 NYS2d 410]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment of conviction entered upon his plea of guilty, defendant contends that County Court failed to conduct a sufficient inquiry into the validity of his postplea arrest before imposing an enhanced sentence for violation of a no-arrest condition of the plea bargain. We disagree. Although a court may not impose an enhanced sentence unless "the court can be satisfied of the existence of a legitimate basis for the arrest" (People v Outley, 80 NY2d 702, 713; see, People v McClemore, 276 AD2d 32, 36), here the existence of a legitimate basis was established by the admission of defendant that he violated an order of protection (see, People v Outley, supra, at 713). Furthermore, we reject the contention of defendant that the court erred in denying his request to withdraw his plea (see, People v Santiago, 269 AD2d 770). (Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Merrill, J. — Criminal Mischief, 2nd Degree.) Present — Pigott, Jr., P. J., Hayes, Wisner, Kehoe and Burns, JJ.
