DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence, the law, and the circumstances together as of the time of representation, we find that the defendant received the effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137; People v. Goss, 229 A.D.2d 791; People v. Badia, 159 A.D.2d 577; People v. Ghee, 153 A.D.2d 954).
Moreover, the defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
