Opinion
December 31, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Brien, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that she was denied the effective assistance of counsel by her attorney's failure to adequately explain the consequences of rejecting a plea offer. However, since the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel is based on matters dehors the record, it should have been raised in a posttrial application brought pursuant to CPL 440.10 (see, People v. Brown, 45 N.Y.2d 852, 853, 854; People v. Camacho, 154 A.D.2d 611; People v. Hamlin, 153 A.D.2d 644, 645).
The defendant's other contentions are either without merit or not preserved for appellate review, and we decline to review them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Bracken, J.P., Kooper, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
