People v. Griffin

110 A.D.2d 850, 488 N.Y.S.2d 625, 1985 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 48757

Opinion

Defendant forfeited his right to challenge the adverse Sandoval ruling by his plea of guilty (People v Claudio, 64 NY2d 858; People v Zangrillo, 105 AD2d 822; People v Gilliam, 65 AD2d 533). Were we to reach the merits of defendant’s claim, we would affirm the trial court’s ruling as proper and not an abuse of discretion (see, People v Jackson, 108 AD2d 757; People v Sterling, 95 AD2d 927; People v Hicks, 88 AD2d 519).

We have considered defendant’s further contention that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel and conclude that the record does not support the claim (see, People v Morris, 100 AD2d 630, affd 64 NY2d 803; People v Bonk, 83 AD2d 695). Mollen, P. J., Titone, Thompson and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
