Opinion
No. 2006-11736.
February 10, 2009.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), rendered December 7, 2006, convicting him of murder in the second degree and burglary in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Keith Dolan of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Rivera, J.P., Miller, Carni and McCarthy, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, he received the effective assistance of counsel ( see Strickland v Washington, 466 US 668; People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708, 713-714; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 146-147).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
