16 N.Y.2d 1064

People v. Camacho

New York Court of Appeals

Decided December 1, 1965

New York Court of Appeals · decided 1965-12-01

Relies on In re Disbarment of Gately

Decided 1965-12-01

¶1Memorandum : The judgment should be affirmed. After entering a plea of guilty under circumstances indicating that the plea was freely and voluntarily made, the defendant may not attack, on appeal, the judgment of conviction on the sole unsupported ground that the plea was the result of a conflict of interest among defendants represented by the same attorney (cf. People v. Tornetto, 16 N Y 2d 902; People v. Nicholson, 11 N Y 2d 1067, cert. den. 371 U. S. 929).

¶2Nor is there basis for a claim that the defendant, an indigent, was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel if the only showing is that he was not represented by the same attorney when he was arraigned, when he pleaded guilty, when he was arraigned on an information charging him with a prior felony, and when he was sentenced.

¶3Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Van Voorhis, Burke, Scileppi and Bergan concur.

¶4Judgment affirmed.
