    [827 NYS2d 882]
   Application by the appellant for a writ of error coram nobis to vacate, on the ground of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, a decision and order of this Court dated December 21, 1981 (People v Mason, 85 AD2d 673 [1981]), affirming a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County, rendered August 15, 1979.

Ordered that the application is denied.
