Description
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Albany County (Clyne, J.), rendered May 6, 1980, convicting defendant upon his pleas of guilty of two counts of the crime of robbery in the second degree. Defendant was charged with robbery in the second degree for his involvement in a robbery committed at Annies Variety Store in the City of Albany. He had been represented by counsel throughout, including an unsuccessful hearing to suppress certain statements. On the day of trial, defendant, for the first time, requested that his appointed counsel be dismissed and that he be allowed to retain counsel of his own choice. The trial court denied the application for a change of counsel and, upon defendants insistence, discharged his appointed counsel and allowed him to proceed pro se. Following the commencement of the trial and the presentation of the Peoples case, defendant entered a plea of guilty of robbery in the second degree in full satisfaction of the indictment. He also entered a plea of guilty to a reduced charge of robbery in the second degree in full satisfaction of an unrelated indictment. He was sentenced as a second felony offender to concurrent indeterminate terms of imprisonment, each with a maximum term of 15 years and a minimum of 7 1/2 years. Both sentences were consecutive to a previously imposed sentence on a February, 1980 conviction. [84 A.D.2d 885 Page 886]
