In People v. Walker, 234 AD2d 962, 652 N.Y.S.2d 441 (4th Dept. 1996), defendant alleged that trial counsel was ineffective due to his failure to seek suppression of physical evidence seized upon his arrest and the failure to make other pretrial motions. The court found that counsel's failure to make pretrial motions does not compel a finding of ineffective assistance since counsel's representation when, viewed as a whole, was meaningful (id. at 963). The court further held that defendant failed to demonstrate that he suffered prejudice as a result of counsel's failure to undertake an adequate investigation (id.).
