The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. Ja

Sidley Austin LLP, New York, N.Y. (Michael P. Morrissey of counsel), for appellant. Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Lori Glachman of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mastro, J.), rendered September 5, 1995, convicting him of murder in the second degree, reckless endangerment in the first degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Since the defendant never made a pretrial motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground that he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial, he waived his right to a dismissal on statutory speedy trial grounds ( see CPL 210.20 [1][g]; People v. Lawrence, 64 N.Y.2d 200, 203–204, 485 N.Y.S.2d 233, 474 N.E.2d 593). Furthermore, insofar as the issue is raised for the first time on appeal, the defendant's contention that his constitutional speedy trial rights were violated is unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v. Jordan, 62 N.Y.2d 825, 826, 477 N.Y.S.2d 605, 466 N.E.2d 145;People v. Cedeno, 52 N.Y.2d 847, 437 N.Y.S.2d 72, 418 N.E.2d 665;People v. Davison, 92 A.D.3d 691, 692, 937 N.Y.S.2d 864;People v. Sease, 305 A.D.2d 700, 701, 759 N.Y.S.2d 695;People v. St. Gelais, 245 A.D.2d 318, 319, 667 N.Y.S.2d 264;People v. Lee, 207 A.D.2d 415, 416, 615 N.Y.S.2d 898;People v. Moss, 188 A.D.2d 620, 620–621, 591 N.Y.S.2d 499). “ ‘In any event, review of the constitutional issue[s] is precluded by the lack of an adequate record [,] which it was defendant's burden to provide’ ” ( People v. Smith, 48 A.D.3d 1095, 1096, 849 N.Y.S.2d 851, quoting People v. James, 188 A.D.2d 296, 296, 590 N.Y.S.2d 722).

The defendant additionally contends that he was denied his right to the effective assistance of counsel with respect to plea negotiations. However, because the defendant's claim is based on matter dehors the record, it cannot be reviewed on direct appeal ( see People v. Johnson, 64 A.D.3d 792, 793, 882 N.Y.S.2d 706;People v. Sloane, 59 A.D.3d 745, 875 N.Y.S.2d 107;*804People v. LeGrady, 50 A.D.3d 1059, 1060, 856 N.Y.S.2d 224;People v. Shemack, 46 A.D.3d 582, 583, 845 N.Y.S.2d 914).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. RIVERA, J.P., HALL, COHEN and MILLER, JJ., concur.
