Opinion
February 10, 1986
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Marasco, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
Under the circumstances of this case, it cannot be said that the trial court erred in denying, without a hearing, defendant's oral application for assigned counsel, as defendant failed to set forth a sufficient basis to show that his representation by retained counsel was inadequate or ineffective.
This is no indication that defense counsel handled the case in other than a competent and professional manner and defendant did not state any basis for dissatisfaction with his attorney other than such attorney's prior motion for leave to withdraw, which had been denied (see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
