   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 February 5, 2001 (People v Taus, 280 AD 2d 499 [2001]), affirming a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County, entered January 30, 1991, and an order of the same court dated June 13, 1996.

Ordered that the application is denied.
