Opinion
June 3, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Pano Z. Patsalos, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Under the totality of the circumstances, the defendant was not denied meaningful representation by counsel ( see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137; People v. Castro, 211 A.D.2d 806; People v Hayes, 186 A.D.2d 268). The defendant's sentence was neither harsh nor excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Miller, J.P., Ritter, Krausman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
