People v. Walton

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

94 A.D.2d 709 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983)

Opinion

May 2, 1983


Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Booth, J.), rendered August 7, 1980, convicting him of sexual abuse in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence. Judgment affirmed. By order of this court, dated July 19, 1982 ( People v Walton, 89 A.D.2d 611), this matter was remitted to Criminal Term for a hearing on whether a four-page summary of an interview between the complainant and an Assistant District Attorney, which was not turned over to the defense as Rosario material (see People v Rosario, 9 N.Y.2d 286, cert den 368 U.S. 866), was a duplicative equivalent of the complainant's Grand Jury testimony. Criminal Term, after comparing the two, found that the summary was indeed duplicative of the complainant's testimony before the Grand Jury. After an independent comparison of the two transcriptions of the complainant's statements we have concluded that Criminal Term's finding is correct. Hence, the People's failure to turn over the summary was not error since it was cumulative to the transcript of complainant's Grand Jury testimony ( People v Consolazio, 40 N.Y.2d 446, cert den 433 U.S. 914). We find no merit to appellant's remaining contention. Titone, J.P., Mangano, Weinstein and Boyers, JJ., concur.
