THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DARNELL EPPS, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, People v Payne ( 3 NY3d 266) and People v Suarez ( 6 NY3d 202) do not apply retroactively ( see Policano v Herbert, 7 NY3d 588; People v Pepper, 53 NY2d 213, 221). Even under the standard espoused in People v Hafeez ( 100 NY2d 253), which was decided after this Court rendered its decision and order on the defendant's direct appeal ( see People v Epps, 305 AD2d 697) but before his conviction became final ( see Policano v Herbert, supra), the evidence was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt ( see People v Vaughn, 2 AD3d 656; People v Marsh, 140 AD2d 631).

The defendant's remaining claims regarding alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel are procedurally barred ( see CPL 440.10 [a], [c]).
