Appeal from Judgment of Orleans County Court, Punch, J. — Attempted Promoting Prison Contraband, 1st Degree.
PRESENT: GREEN, J. P., HAYES, HURLBUTT AND LAWTON, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that County Court violated his constitutional right to counsel by denying his request for substitution of assigned counsel. We disagree. Defendant's general complaints of dissatisfaction with defense counsel are insufficient to establish good cause for substitution ( see generally, People v. Sawyer , 57 N.Y.2d 12, 18-19 , rearg dismissed 57 N.Y.2d 776, cert denied 459 U.S. 1178; People v. Garcia , 250 A.D.2d 421, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 897).
