Section 440.10 provides the appropriate forum for reviewing an ineffective-assistance claim that requires consideration of matters outside the trial record.

People v. Dillard · filed 2019-10-23

Since the defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel cannot be resolved without reference to matter outside the record, a CPL 440.10 proceeding is the appropriate forum for reviewing the claim in its entirety, and we decline to review the claim on this direct appeal ( see People v Freeman , 93 AD3d 805, 806; People v Maxwell , 89 AD3d at 1109).

A CPL 440.10 motion is the means to raise an ineffective assistance claim that depends on matters outside the direct-appeal record.

People v. Christie · filed 2019-10-29

This claim is unreviewable on direct appeal because it involves matters not reflected in, or fully explained by, the record, regarding counsel's strategic decision-making and consultations with his client, including what appears to be an in-court, off-the-record discussion between defendant and his counsel on the subject at issue ( see People v Rivera , 71 NY2d 705, 709 [1988]). Accordingly, because defendant has not made a CPL 440.10 motion, the merits of the ineffectiveness claim may not be addressed on appeal.

CPL 440.10 is the procedure for raising claims based primarily on matters outside the trial record, including claims that counsel deprived a defendant of the right to testify.

People v. Richards · filed 2019-11-08

To the extent that defendant contends that conversations with defense counsel otherwise deprived him of his right to testify, that contention is, as with defendant's related ineffective assistance claim, based primarily on matters outside the record and must be raised pursuant to a CPL 440.10 motion ( see generally Streeter , 118 AD3d at 1289).
