William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Kirsten A. Rappleyea ofcounsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County(Greller, J.), rendered September 21, 2011, convicting him of murder in the seconddegree and aggravated criminal contempt, upon his plea of guilty, and imposingsentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Since the defendant's application to withdraw his plea of guilty was patentlyinsufficient on its face, the County Court providently exercised its discretion insummarily denying it (seePeople v Mitchell, 21 NY3d 964, 967 [2013]; People v McGuire, 122 AD3d947, 948 [2014]). Contrary to the defendant's contention, the defendant's attorneydid not take a position adverse to that of the defendant with respect to the application(cf. People v Mitchell, 21 NY3d at 967; People v Barr, 116 AD3d 1061, 1061-1062 [2014]).Rivera, J.P., Roman, Sgroi and Duffy, JJ., concur.
