People v. Seaya

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided June 3, 1996Published

1Opinion of the Court

Under the totality of the circumstances, the defendant was not denied meaningful representation by counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137; People v Castro, 211 AD2d 806; People v Hayes, 186 AD2d 268). The defendant’s sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Miller, J. P., Ritter, Krausman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
