Opinion
No. 2008-01025.
October 19, 2010.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Henry, J.), rendered January 4, 2008, convicting him of attempted criminal contempt in the second degree and harassment in the second degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Katherine A. Levine of counsel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Jodi L. Mandel of counsel; Christopher Casa on the brief), for respondent.
Before: Rivera, J.P., Angiolillo, Chambers and Austin, JJ.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
There is no merit to the defendant's contention that he was deprived of his right to present a defense as a result of the Supreme Court's refusal to grant him a further adjournment to secure the continued testimony of a witness. Any evidence that the defendant could have elicited from that witness would have been cumulative of evidence already elicited from three other defense witnesses ( see People v Jackson, 41 AD3d 498, 499; People v Mertens, 97 AD2d 595, 596).
