Opinion
March 17, 1995
Appeal from the Cayuga County Court, Contiguglia, J.
Present — Green, J.P., Wesley, Callahan, Doerr and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contentions of defendant that the indictment was improperly consolidated for trial with the indictment against the codefendant (see, CPL 200.40; see, People v. Troy, 209 A.D.2d 943; see also, People v. Griffin, 137 A.D.2d 558, 559, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1006) and that County Court abused its discretion in denying her request for additional peremptory challenges (see, CPL 270.25 [b]; [3]). The court gave prompt instructions to the jury that cured any error in the admission of testimony from a prosecution witness regarding the reason defendant was terminated from a specific employment situation. Additionally, the sentence is neither unduly harsh nor severe. Finally, we have considered the remaining contention of defendant and conclude that it is meritless.
