PEOPLE v. IRELAND

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The contention of defendant concerning County Court's Sandoval ruling does not survive his plea of guilty (see, People v Green, 146 A.D.2d 281, affd 75 N.Y.2d 902, cert denied 498 U.S. 860). Considering the factors set forth in People v Taranovich ( 37 N.Y.2d 442, 445), we conclude that defendant was not deprived of his constitutional right to a speedy trial (see, People v Jones, 188 A.D.2d 745, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 888). Viewing the evidence, the law and the circumstances of this case as of the time of representation, we further conclude that defendant received meaningful representation (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Finally, the sentence imposed is neither unduly harsh nor severe.
