Opinion
June 26, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Curci, J.).
Ordered that the amended judgment is affirmed.
Although the court voiced its displeasure with the defense counsel's dilatory tactics at the violation of probation hearing, under the circumstances, where, inter alia, there was no viable defense to the charge that the defendant had violated her probation by being convicted of another crime, the court's actions in no way resulted in a denial of effective assistance of counsel or indeed, any discernable prejudice (see, People v Rodriguez, 188 A.D.2d 623). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
