In People v. Brossoit (192 AD2d 900 [3d Dept 1993]) defendant sought reversal of his conviction for burglary in the second degree due to the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. That defendant asserted that he was hearing impaired, and had decided not to testify in his own behalf after "unsuccessfully asking his defense counsel to obtain an interpreter." (192 AD2d at 901.) The court noted that "there is nothing in the record or on appeal to support this contention and, indeed, the record reflects conversations between defendant and others with no indication of this purported problem." (192 AD2d at 901.) Defendant's appeal on this basis was denied.
