PEOPLE v. MIRANDA

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court conducted a sufficient inquiry regarding the defendant's request that his assigned counsel be relieved and properly denied his application to appoint a new counsel since he failed to demonstrate good cause for the substitution ( see, People v. Sides, 75 N.Y.2d 822, 824-825; People v. Outlaw, 184 A.D.2d 665; People v. Gloster, 175 A.D.2d 258, 260). Furthermore, a review of the record reveals that the defendant received effective assistance of counsel ( see, People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 146-148).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court complied with the mandates of Penal Law § 70.10 (2) and adequately set forth on the record its reasons for sentencing the defendant as a persistent felony offender ( cf., People v. Gaines, 136 A.D.2d 731).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or do not require reversal.

Bracken, J.P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
