    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jay Robert Hoff, Appellant.
    [607 NYS2d 821]
   Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The contention that the trial court improperly denied defendant’s motion to allow defense counsel to withdraw is without merit. Defendant failed to meet his burden of showing good cause for a substitution of counsel "such as a conflict of interest or other irreconcilable conflict with counsel” (People v Sides, 75 NY2d 822, 824). Defendant contends that he could no longer communicate with his attorney and that he was concerned about defense counsel’s recommendation to accept a plea offer. Those contentions are insufficient (see, People v Willis, 147 AD2d 727, 728, lv dismissed 74 NY2d 670; People v Thornton, 167 AD2d 935, lv denied 78 NY2d 1082).

We further conclude that the People have satisfied their obligation under CPL 30.30 (see, People v Giordano, 56 NY2d 524, 525). Under the circumstances, defendant’s sentence as a persistent felony offender was not harsh or excessive. We have considered the remaining contentions, including those raised in defendant’s pro se supplemental brief, and find them to be without merit.
