    [816 NYS2d 358]
   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 16, 1996 (People v Thigpen, 234 AD2d 486 [1996]), affirming a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered April 25, 1994.
