THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHARLES ADAMS, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

A review of the record discloses that a rational fact finder could readily have found defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all crimes charged ( Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319). Furthermore, defendant's contention that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel is meritless. Defendant failed to demonstrate that his attorney's actions "`resulted in actual and substantial disadvantage to the course of his defense'" ( People v. Morris, 100 A.D.2d 630, 631, affd 64 N.Y.2d 803, quoting from Washington v. Strickland, 693 F.2d 1243, 1262, revd on other grounds 466 U.S. 668, 104 S Ct 2052).

We have considered defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Titone, J.P., Thompson, Bracken and Rubin, JJ., concur.
