People v Rodriguez, 2019 NY Slip Op 02123 [170 AD3d 1045]
March 20, 2019
Appellate Division, Second Department
[*1]
The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Eduardo P. Rodriguez, Appellant.
Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Justine M. Luongo and Lorraine Maddalo of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Sholom J. Twersky, and Michael L. Brenner of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Elizabeth Foley, J.), rendered February 3, 2014, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel is based, in part, on matter appearing on the record and, in part, on matter outside the record, and thus, constitutes a mixed claim of ineffective assistance ( see People v Maxwell , 89 AD3d 1108 , 1109 [2011]). In this case, it is not evident from the matter appearing on the record that the defendant was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel ( see People v Hili , 158 AD3d 647 , 648 [2018]). Since the defendant’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel cannot be resolved without reference to matter outside the record, a CPL 440.10 proceeding is the appropriate forum for reviewing the claim in its entirety ( see People v Hili , 158 AD3d at 648; People v Freeman , 93 AD3d 805 , 806 [2012]). Balkin, J.P., Austin, Roman and Connolly, JJ., concur..
