Opinion
No. 2005-02924, 2005-02925.
October 10, 2006.
Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Orange County (Rosenwasser, J.), both rendered March 11, 2005, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first degree under indictment No. 04-00431 and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under indictment No. 04-00730, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.
Before: Florio, J.P., Ritter, Goldstein and Lifson, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
There is no basis in this record to vacate the defendant's pleas of guilty, nor is there any evidence in the record that defense counsel provided ineffective representation. The defendant's claims based upon matter dehors the record cannot be reviewed on direct appeal from the judgment of conviction ( see People v Spotards, 23 AD3d 586). Any challenges to the defendant's resentencing pursuant to Penal Law § 60.09 under indictment No. 2004-00431 are cognizable upon a direct appeal from the resentence ( see People v Van Aken, 83 AD2d 617).
