216 A.D.2d 934 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 9, 1995

Appeal from the Genesee County Court, Morton, J.

Present — Pine, J.P., Lawton, Callahan, Davis and Boehm, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted of one count of sodomy in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.50), and now contends that he was denied effective assistance of counsel. That contention is without merit. Defendant has failed to demonstrate that he was deprived of a fair trial by less than meaningful representation. "[T]he evidence, the law, and the circumstances of [the] case, viewed in totality and as of the time of the representation, reveal that [defendant's] attorney provided meaningful representation" (People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 147; see, People v. Russo, 85 N.Y.2d 872, 874; People v. Hobot, 84 N.Y.2d 1021; People v. Flores, 84 N.Y.2d 184).
