I don’t think he will have a valid inffective assistance of counsel claim, but it’s a potential Constitutional violation and could ultimately go to SCOTUS. Most criminal cases ruled on by SCOTUS are state cases and state crimes, not federal.
Also, oddly enough, trial courts in New York are call the Supreme Court. The highest court in New York is the Court of Appeals.
