Opinion
Argued May 4, 2000.
June 19, 2000.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Wade, J.), rendered July 15, 1998, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Paul Skip Laisure of counsel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Thomas M. Ross of counsel), for respondent.
Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The Supreme Court properly concluded that the prosecutor's facially-neutral explanations for excusing black female jurors were not pretextual (see, People v. Allen, 86 N.Y.2d 101).
The defendant's remaining contention does not require reversal.
