THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JEFFREY FORD, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The jury's verdict is supported by the weight of the credible evidence (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). The victim's identification of defendant and her account of defendant's conduct were substantiated by three eyewitnesses.

Defendant's contention that he was denied effective assistance of counsel, based upon facts that are outside the record, is not subject to review on direct appeal (see, People v. Robinson, 122 A.D.2d 173, 175, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 1003; People v. Banks, 117 A.D.2d 611, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 939). Insofar as we are able to review defendant's ineffective assistance claim, we find that defense counsel's performance amply met the standard of meaningful representation.
