Motion for reargument granted, and upon reargument, the order of this Court entered December 31, 2009 (68 AD3d 1823 [2009]) is vacated, and the motion of defendant for a writ of error coram nobis is denied. Memorandum: Defendant has failed to establish that the representation provided by appellate counsel was constitutionally deficient.

Present — Centra, J.P., Peradotto, Green and Gorski, JJ.
