People v. Clarke

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jan 19, 1993
81 N.Y.2d 777 (N.Y. 1993)

Opinion

Decided January 19, 1993

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, Budd G. Goodman, J.

George W. Albro, New York City, and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney of New York County, New York City (Myles L. Orosco of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

A party generally must specify the basis for an objection to preserve a question of law for this Court's review. In this case defense counsel made only a general objection to the court's multiple rulings regarding the proposed testimony of a witness. Accordingly, defendant's present contention that the testimony constituted hearsay and improperly bolstered another prosecution witness' testimony has not been preserved for our review.

Acting Chief Judge SIMONS and Judges KAYE, TITONE, HANCOCK, JR., and BELLACOSA concur; Judge SMITH taking no part.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.4), order affirmed in a memorandum.
