Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, 1990

People v. Southard

People v. Southard
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided February 5, 1990
158 A.D.2d 490
People v. Southard

Opinion of the Court

The defendant’s claim that he was not afforded the effective assistance of counsel is based on matters dehors the record and thus not reviewable on direct appeal (see, People v Walker, 152 AD2d 644; People v Bosley, 149 AD2d 520; People v Robinson, 122 AD2d 173). The appropriate remedy is a post-conviction motion pursuant to CPL 440.10 (see, People v Walker, supra; People v Bosley, supra). Mangano, J. P., Kunzeman, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
