OPINION TEXT STARTS HERELloyd G. Williams, Cambria Heights, N.Y., appellant pro se.
In a child support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the father appeals from (1) findings of fact of the Family Court, Queens County (Blaustein, S.M.), dated May 4, 2010, made after a hearing, finding that he willfully violated an order of support of the same court dated September 27, 2007, and (2) an order of commitment of the same court (Lubow, J.), dated June 11, 2010, which, upon an order of the same court, also dated June 11, 2010, in effect, confirmed the finding of willfulness and committed him to the New York City Department of Corrections for a term of imprisonment of six months unless he paid the sum of $7,500 for child support.
ORDERED that the order of commitment is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.
The father contends that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at a hearing to determine whether he willfully violated an order of support dated September 27, 2007 ( see Family Ct. Act §§ 262[a][vi], 454[3][a]; Matter of Scott v. Scott, 62 A.D.3d 714, 879 N.Y.S.2d 488; Matter of Er–Mei Y., 29 A.D.3d 1013, 816 N.Y.S.2d 539). Contrary to the father's contentions, viewed in totality, the record reveals that he received meaningful representation ( see Matter of St. Lawrence County Dept. of Social Servs. v. Pratt, 80 A.D.3d 826, 914 N.Y.S.2d 391). He has not established that any of the alleged deficiencies constituted anything other than legitimate, albeit unsuccessful, trial strategy ( see Matter of Lewis v. Cross, 80 A.D.3d 835, 913 N.Y.S.2d 836; Matter of Chilbert v. Soler, 77 A.D.3d 1405, 907 N.Y.S.2d 757). Accordingly, we affirm the order of commitment insofar as reviewed.
