Opinion
Decided July 5, 2001.
Appeal, by permission of a justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, from and order of that court, entered September 25, 2000, which affirmed a judgment of the Nassau County Court (Zelda Jonas, J.), rendered upon a verdict convicting defendant of robbery in the second degree (two counts).
On appeal at the Appellate Division, defendant argued, inter alia, that he was denied a fair trial when the People obtained criminal arrest and conviction records of potential jurors and their families to challenge the jurors for cause on the ground that they answered the court's written questionnaire untruthfully.
The Appellate Division affirmed the judgment of conviction, concluding that appellant's arguments as to the challenge of jurors were not preserved for review.
Submitted by Wallace M. Germain, for appellant.
Submitted by Margaret E. Mainusch, for respondent.
Before: Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley, Rosenblatt and Graffeo concur.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules, order affirmed. Defendant's contentions have not been preserved for this Court's review.
