People v. Kinsey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

148 A.D.2d 971 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

March 10, 1989

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Celli, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Denman, Green, Pine and Balio, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: On appeal from his conviction for attempted assault in the second degree and leaving the scene of an accident, defendant urges that numerous errors occurred during the trial and sentencing and that the failure of trial counsel to object or otherwise challenge these errors deprived him of effective assistance of counsel. We do not agree.

None of the claims of error has merit, and trial counsel cannot be faulted for failing to make objections or to raise issues on which he would not have prevailed (see, People v. Torrence, 135 A.D.2d 1075, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1011). Defendant has failed to demonstrate that his trial counsel did not provide meaningful representation (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).
