People v. Adams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 15, 1985
110 A.D.2d 772 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

April 15, 1985

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Delaney, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

A review of the record discloses that a rational fact finder could readily have found defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all crimes charged ( Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319). Furthermore, defendant's contention that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel is meritless. Defendant failed to demonstrate that his attorney's actions "`resulted in actual and substantial disadvantage to the course of his defense'" ( People v. Morris, 100 A.D.2d 630, 631, affd 64 N.Y.2d 803, quoting from Washington v. Strickland, 693 F.2d 1243, 1262, revd on other grounds 466 U.S. 668, 104 S Ct 2052).

We have considered defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Titone, J.P., Thompson, Bracken and Rubin, JJ., concur.
