January 17, 199584 N.Y.2d 1021

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the defendant was not denied effective assistance of counsel despite trial counsel's failure to review a medical document. The court found no prejudice resulting from the omission and therefore upheld the convictions for rape and sexual abuse.
