Opinion

February 18, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Beldock, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed.

The defendant's judgment of conviction was affirmed by this court (People v. Hood, 96 A.D.2d 1152, affd 62 N.Y.2d 863). The defendant's sole contention on this appeal from the denial of his motion to vacate the judgment of conviction is that he was denied the effective assistance of appellate counsel. The proper procedure for addressing such a claim, however, is through an application for writ of error coram nobis addressed to this court (see, People v. Bachert, 69 N.Y.2d 593). We have considered and denied the defendant's application for a writ of error of coram nobis (People v. Hood, 180 A.D.2d 751 [decided herewith]). Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Lawrence and Miller, JJ., concur.
