p. 564The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Leroy Leonard, Appellant. [621 NYS2d 872]

p. 565
Contrary to defendant’s claim, review of the record does not reveal that he was denied his right to effective assistance of counsel (People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 ). Nor is there merit to defendant’s contention that his sentence was improperly enhanced because he rejected an initial plea offer and proceeded to trial (People v Pena, 50 NY2d 400 , 411-412, cert denied 449 US 1087 ). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Wallach, Kupferman and Ross, JJ.
