Opinion
September 21, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Andrias, J.).
Defendant's present claims that he was mentally incompetent during post-verdict proceedings and that counsel was ineffective in failing to adequately press his incompetence are unsupported by a record permitting review (see, CPL 440.10). Consequently, such claims do no more than invite this Court to second-guess counsel's tactics (see, People v Jones, 55 N.Y.2d 771; People v Rivera, 71 N.Y.2d 705) and, on the state of the present record, we cannot conclude that defendant was denied meaningful representation.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Ellerin, Kassal and Nardelli, JJ.
