People v. Ford
Opinion of the Court
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, he was not deprived of his right to the effective assistance of counsel under either the United States Constitution or the New York Constitution (see Strickland v Washington, 466 US 668 [1984]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 [1981]).
The Supreme Court properly adjudicated the defendant a persistent violent felony offender (see Penal Law § 70.04 [1] [b]; § 70.08 [1]). Skelos, J.P, Dickerson, Austin and Miller, JJ., concur.
