People v. Pizarro

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 24, 1990
168 A.D.2d 644 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 24, 1990

Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Pano Z. Patsalos, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

There is no merit to the defendant's contention on appeal that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel. There is nothing in the record to support the defendant's suggestion that counsel's decision not to move to suppress identification testimony, and his advice to plead guilty, were not reasonable strategies under the circumstances, since he has advanced on appeal no colorable basis for a suppression hearing, and does not claim to be innocent (cf., People v. Rivera, 71 N.Y.2d 705; People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Mangano, P.J., Kunzeman, Sullivan and Ritter, JJ., concur.
