COHN, Senior District Judge,
dissenting.
I dissent. Since I am of the view that the record at sentencing plainly reflects *688ineffective assistance of counsel, I would vacate the sentence and remand for a new sentencing hearing with defendant represented by new counsel. I see no need on the sentencing record to wait for a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to deal with the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel at sentencing. Alternatively I would defer decision to await the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Massaro v. United States, 27 Fed.Appx. 26 (2d Cir.2001) (unpublished opinion), cert. granted, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 31, 153 L.Ed.2d 893 (2002).
