People v. Wright

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 20, 1987
126 A.D.2d 690 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

January 20, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Bambrick, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the record reveals that he was afforded effective assistance of counsel (see, e.g., People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137; People v. Carter, 114 A.D.2d 420). We find, moreover, that the People discharged their obligation to produce all discoverable material requested by the defendant's counsel and the defendant has not established otherwise (cf. People v. Caban, 118 A.D.2d 957, 959). Although certain documents produced in response to the defendant's subpoena were apparently delivered to the County Clerk's office instead of the Trial Part, the record reveals that counsel was aware of their location but nevertheless chose to call the witness in question without first examining the materials produced or requesting the court's assistance in obtaining them (cf. People v. Donald, 107 A.D.2d 818, 819-820). Weinstein, J.P., Rubin, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
