Opinion
June 3, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (William Leibovitz, J.).
On the existing record, we find that defendant received meaningful representation ( see, People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708). Defendant has not shown that he was prejudiced by his counsel's untimely filing of motions for severance of the robbery counts and suppression of physical evidence, because the record suggests that neither motion would have been successful.
We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.
Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Mazzarelli, Rubin, Andrias and Buckley, JJ.
