Opinion
January 16, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Harold Silverman, J.).
Defendant had effective assistance of counsel, who after vigorously cross-examining the People's witnesses at the Wade hearing, convinced the court that the higher sentence pursued by the People was not warranted and negotiated a favorable plea that made abandonment of the Wade issues a plausible strategy ( cf., People v Flores, 84 N.Y.2d 184). Those issues concerning identification of defendant were waived by his plea and may not be reviewed on appeal ( see, People v Corti, 88 A.D.2d 345).
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Wallach, Ross and Williams, JJ.
