In *People v. Brown*, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York affirmed the judgment from Kings County, which convicted Devineil Brown of second-degree murder following a jury verdict. The court addressed Brown's appeal regarding claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, specifically that his defense attorney failed to object to certain annotations on the verdict sheet. The court found this contention without merit, referencing relevant legal standards (CPL 310.20[2] and case law). Furthermore, the court ruled that the sentence imposed was not excessive, citing *People v. Suitte* as precedent. The decision was made by a panel consisting of Justices Mastro, Chambers, Miller, and Barros, with the order entered by the Clerk of the Court, Aprilanne Agostino.
