Opinion
November 27, 1995
Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Byrne, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's request for new counsel since the defendant failed to show good cause for a substitution ( see, People v Sides, 75 N.Y.2d 822; People v Nunez, 186 A.D.2d 764). Moreover, contrary to his contention, the defendant received the effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). The defendant's attorney negotiated an advantageous plea agreement that substantially limited the defendant's exposure to imprisonment ( see, People v Ladelokun, 192 A.D.2d 723; People v Nicholls, 157 A.D.2d 1004). Sullivan, J.P., Thompson, Copertino, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
