New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Vincent Cataldo

June 2, 197639 N.Y.2d 578

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The court held that because the sentencing court honored the promises made in the plea agreement, the defendant could not withdraw his plea on the basis of a misinterpretation of the bargain.
