People v Eligio

Holding The court affirmed the conviction and sentence, holding that the defendant’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim regarding the gun licensing law’s constitutionality was unreviewable on direct appeal because it required matters outside the record. Additionally, the court found no ineffective assistance because the underlying constitutional claim was unavailing.

The court’s words

unreviewable on direct appeal "because it involves matters not reflected in the record and thus must first be raised in a CPL 440.10 motion"
