People v. Taylor

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 19, 1984
105 A.D.2d 814 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)

Opinion

November 19, 1984

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Mallon, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Under the circumstances, it cannot be said that ineffective assistance of counsel vitiated defendant's plea of guilty (see People v Petgen, 55 N.Y.2d 529, 535, mot for rearg den. 57 N.Y.2d 674). The mere fact that counsel does not engage in some pretrial procedures available to defendant does not, in and of itself, indicate ineffective assistance of counsel ( People v Peters, 90 A.D.2d 618, 619; People v Bonk, 83 A.D.2d 695). Mollen, P.J., Titone, Thompson and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
