Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v David Southard, Appellant.

Opinion:
The defendant's claim that he was not afforded the effective assistance of counsel is based on matters dehors the record and thus not reviewable on direct appeal (see, People v Walker, 152 AD2d 644; People v Bosley, 149 AD2d 520; People v Robinson, 122 AD2d 173). The appropriate remedy is a post-conviction motion pursuant to CPL 440.10 (see, People v Walker, supra; People v Bosley, supra). Mangano, J. P., Kunzeman, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
