People v. Jackson

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 8, 1987
70 N.Y.2d 768 (N.Y. 1987)

Opinion

Argued September 4, 1987

Decided October 8, 1987

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, Hillery, J.

John J. Hayden for appellant. Francis D. Phillips, II, District Attorney (Barbara J. Strauss of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Defendant's primary argument in this court is that her conviction must be reversed because she was denied effective assistance of counsel during the trial. After examining the record and viewing the evidence, law and circumstances of the case in totality, we conclude defendant's allegations of counsel's ineffectiveness are not supported by the record and she was not denied meaningful representation (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 146-147).

We concur with the Appellate Division's disposition of defendant's remaining contentions (see, 121 A.D.2d 743).

Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER, HANCOCK, JR., and BELLACOSA concur; Judge TITONE taking no part.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
