p. 624
Eugene Gold, District Attorney (William I. Siegel of counsel), for respondent.

Order affirmed in the following memorandum: Appellant, indicted for felony murder, contends only that his trial attorney misled him as to the sentence which might be imposed following a plea of guilty. Without more this affords no basis to disturb appellant’s conviction on the plea. (See People v. Johnson, 32 N Y 2d 813 ; People v. Withridge, 27 N Y 2d 713 ; People v. Scott, 10 N Y 2d 380 .)

Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Rabin and Stevens.
