Majority

p. 606

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Benjamin Nunez, Appellant.

[682 NYS2d 608]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Harkavy, J.), rendered August 8, 1996, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree (two counts) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that he received ineffective assistance of counsel is without merit (see, People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708 ; People v Flores, 84 NY2d 184 ; People v Satterfield, 66 NY2d 796 ; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 ; People v Wicker, 229 AD2d 602 ; People v Sullivan, 153 AD2d 223 ). Furthermore, the defendant’s sentence is not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ). O’Brien, J. P., Pizzuto, Joy and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
