No. 100
The People &c.,
            Respondent,
        v.
Ross Campbell,
            Appellant.

          Abigail Everett, for appellant.
          Ramandeep Singh, for respondent.

claims that are "of the type where 'it . . . [is] essential[]
that an appellate attack on the effectiveness of counsel be
bottomed on an evidentiary exploration by collateral or post-
conviction proceeding brought under CPL 440.10'" (People v
Henderson, 28 NY3d 63, 66 [2016], quoting People v Brown, 45 NY2d
852, 854 [1978]).
