The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Douglas INDELICATO, Defendant-Appellant.
Judgments, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Dominic Massaro, J.), rendered November 20, 1997, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of burglary in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 8 years, 1 years, and 7 years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant has not established that the circumstance that another attorney in his counsel's firm had one year earlier represented a prosecution witness created a conflict of interest or deprived defendant of meaningful representation. Defendant's claim that the successive representations affected his counsel's conduct of the trial is unsupported by the record (see, People v. Jordan, 83 N.Y.2d 785, 610 N.Y.S.2d 952, 632 N.E.2d 1275; People v. Perez, 70 N.Y.2d 773, 521 N.Y.S.2d 215, 515 N.E.2d 901).
