Decided July 7, 1992
_________________________________________________________________
This memorandum is uncorrected and subject to revision before
publication in the New York Reports.
Submitted, for Appellant.
Jeanne A. Olivo, for Respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
We agree with the Appellate Division, for the reasons stated by
Justice Sullivan (see, 165 AD2d 13), that the defendant's Sixth
Amendment rights under the United States Constitution were not
abridged by the court's ruling that defense counsel could not confer
with his client during a luncheon recess. Nor do we perceive any basis
for a different result under the State Constitution.
_________________________________________________________________
KAYE, J. (dissenting):
I disagree that this case, involving a two-hour luncheon recess during
which defendant was denied all access to counsel, is controlled by
Perry v Leeke (488 US 272). I would rule that the trial court abused
its discretion and violated defendant's federal right to counsel.
Moreover, the trial court's action clearly ran afoul of the greater
protections afforded by New York's right to counsel clause (NY Const.,
art I, § 6).
Accordingly, I would reverse the conviction and order a new trial.

Order affirmed in a memorandum. Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges
Simons, Titone, Hancock and Bellacosa concur. Judge Kaye dissents and
votes to reverse in an opinion.
