Opinion
August 31, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Clabby, J.).
Ordered that the application is denied.
The defendant has failed to establish that he was denied the effective assistance of appellate counsel. We will not second-guess the reasonable professional judgment of counsel that colorable but nonetheless weak arguments should be omitted from an appellate brief (see, Jones v. Barnes, 463 U.S. 745), and the defendant points to no argument that counsel unreasonably failed to advance on appeal. Harwood, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter and Copertino, JJ., concur.
