v

Frank Palompelli, appellant.

Stephen N. Preziosi, P.C., New York, NY, for appellant.

David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Goshen, NY (Andrew R. Kass of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant, by permission, from an order of the County Court, Orange County (Craig Stephen Brown, J.), dated November 29, 2017. The order denied, without a hearing, the defendant's motion, inter alia, pursuant to CPL 440.10 to vacate a judgment of the same court (Jeffrey G. Berry, J.), rendered October 14, 1999, convicting him of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed.

The County Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion, inter alia, to vacate his judgment of conviction on the ground that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. On a previous motion that the defendant made pursuant to CPL 440.10, he "was in a position adequately to raise the ground or issue underlying the present motion but did not do so" (CPL 440.10[3][c]; see CPL 440.30[2]).

DILLON, J.P., DUFFY, BARROS and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
