p. 480The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Clifford Randall, Appellant. [639 NYS2d 919]
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.
