People v. Zeigler

238 A.D.2d 245 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

April 22, 1997


Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Rena Uviller, J., on motions; Juanita Bing Newton, J., at plea and sentence), rendered September 21, 1994, convicting defendant of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and absconding in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 4 1/2 to 9 years and 2 to 4 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant's request for new assigned counsel was properly denied, since defendant failed to establish good cause for such substitution ( People v. Sides, 75 N.Y.2d 822). On the existing record, we conclude that defendant received effective assistance of counsel in connection with his knowing, intelligent and voluntary plea of guilty ( People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404). The court's summary denial of defendant's suppression motions was proper ( People v. Mendoza, 82 N.Y.2d 415, 430), and we reject defendant's suggestion that Mendoza should not be applied to this case ( see, People v. Hill, 85 N.Y.2d 256). Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Wallach, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
