158 A.D.2d 912 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

February 2, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Bergin, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Denman, Green, Balio and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: From our review of the record, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient to allow a rational trier of fact to find defendant guilty of robbery in the first degree (Penal Law § 160.15; § 20.00; see, People v Bartlett, 115 A.D.2d 608, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 880; People v Parker, 97 A.D.2d 943). Further, without the benefit of additional background facts that might have been developed pursuant to CPL 440.10, we cannot conclude that defendant was denied meaningful assistance of counsel (see, People v Love, 57 N.Y.2d 998, 1000).
