PEOPLE v. TORRES

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Although defense counsel's trial strategy proved unsuccessful, we find that the defendant was provided with meaningful representation of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137; People v Crippen, 120 A.D.2d 742). Brown, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
