251 A.D.2d 1072 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 10, 1998

Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Burke, J. — Attempted Criminal Possession Weapon, 2nd Degree.

Present — Green, J. P., Lawton, Pigott, Jr., Callahan and Balio, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention that defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel. Defense counsel's failure to make a timely written motion to suppress the jacket seized by police after their warrantless entry into defendant's apartment did not deprive defendant of meaningful representation ( see, People v. Godbold, 231 A.D.2d 910, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 922; see generally, People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404).

We have examined defendant's remaining contention and conclude that it is lacking in merit.
