It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

contending in his main and pro se supplemental briefs that he was entitled to a hearing on his claim that he was deprived of effective assistance of counsel at trial. We reject that contention inasmuch as defendant’s challenges to his attorney’s performance were already raised on direct appeal and rejected by this Court (.People v Barksdale, 129 AD3d 1497 , 1498 [2015], lv denied 26 NY3d 926 [2015], reconsideration denied 26 NY3d 1007 [2015]). Defendant was therefore not entitled to a hearing (see People v Chelley, 137 AD3d 1720 , 1720-1721 [2016]).
