People v. Valdez

— Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chetta, J.), rendered January 29, 1991, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the Supreme Court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his plea of guilty on the ground that he and a codefendant had been represented by the same attorney at the plea proceedings and, as a consequence, he was denied his right to the effective assistance of counsel. We disagree.
