Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York April 28, 1997 (People v. Lu Yang Tong)

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County (Nelson, J.), rendered June 20, 1995, convicting him of assault in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that his guilty plea should be set aside because a language barrier inhibited his understanding of the proceedings.
