Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Clifford Randall, Appellant.
[639 NYS2d 919]

Opinion:
Defendant's claim that his guilty plea was coerced by his attorney is belied by the minutes of the. plea proceeding and plea withdrawal hearing, which show that the plea represented a voluntary and intelligent choice among alternative courses of action, including exposure to a harsher sentence after trial or even after further plea negotiations (see, People v Harris, 61 NY2d 9, 19-20). Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Nardelli, Williams and Tom, JJ.
