PEOPLE v. MONTES (1999)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Radames MONTES, Defendant-Appellant.

Decided: October 12, 1999

SULLIVAN, J.P., NARDELLI, WILLIAMS, RUBIN and ANDRIAS, JJ.

Richard Nahas, for Respondent. Moira E. Casey, for Defendant-Appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Berkman, J.), rendered April 3, 1996, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 5 to 10 years, unanimously affirmed.

To the extent that defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim makes factual assertions unsupported by the record, such claim would require a motion pursuant to CPL 440.10. On the existing record, we find that defendant received meaningful representation in connection with his plea and sentence (see, People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404, 633 N.Y.S.2d 270, 657 N.E.2d 265).
