GENERAL CRITERIA FOR DENYING, WITHOUT HOLDING A HEARING, A MOTION TO VACATE A CONVICTION ON INEFFECTIVE-ASSISTANCE GROUNDS (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, without discussing the facts, laid out the criteria for denying a motion to vacate a conviction on ineffective-assistance grounds without holding a hearing:

… [A] court may deny a CPL 440.10 motion without conducting a hearing if “[t]he motion is based upon the existence or occurrence of facts and the moving papers do not contain sworn allegations substantiating or tending to substantiate all the essential facts” … . Here, County Court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant’s CPL 440.10 motion without a hearing because, under the circumstances presented, defendant failed to sufficiently allege “‘a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s [alleged] errors, he would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial'” … . Moreover, defendant failed to otherwise “show that the nonrecord facts sought to be established . . . would entitle him to relief” … . People v Dogan, 2021 NY Slip Op 04956, CtApp 9-14-21
