    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jose Veras, Appellant.
    [855 NYS2d 450]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bruce Allen, J.), rendered May 30, 2006, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of three years, unanimously affirmed.

After sufficient inquiry, the court properly denied defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea (see People v Frederick, 45 NY2d 520 [1978]). “[T]he nature and extent of the fact-finding procedures on such motions rest largely in the discretion of the court” (People v Fiumefreddo, 82 NY2d 536, 544 [1993]). The record establishes that the plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary, and that the court properly determined that defendant’s attacks on his plea lacked merit. Concur—Tom, J.E, Saxe, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
