The People of the State of New York v. Albert Bennett Petgen

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that a guilty plea forfeits the right to appellate review of a denial of an application for permission to file a late motion to suppress and also forfeits any claim of ineffective assistance of counsel not directly involved in the plea bargaining. Justice Meyer dissented, arguing that the order denying the suppression hearing was unauthorized and that the plea should be set aside.
