Opinion
No. 570460/13.
11-18-2015
The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Crawford BAZIL, Defendant–Appellant.
Judgment of conviction (Anthony J. Ferrara, J.), rendered April 18, 2013, affirmed.
Defendant's present argument that the court should have made certain inquiries of the jury before granting a brief (five-day) adjournment to accommodate a key prosecution witness, is unpreserved for appellate review. Although defendant objected to the adjournment and requested a mistrial, he did not request that the court make any inquiry of the jury in connection with the adjournment (see People v. Knight, 84 AD3d 670, 671 [2011], lv denied 17 NY3d 860 [2011] ; People v. Webb, 60 AD3d 496, 497 [2009], lv denied 13 NY3d 800 [2009] ). We also decline to review the issue in the interest of justice. As an alternative holding, we reject it on the merits (see People v. Rosado, 125 AD3d 505, 506 [2015] ).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
I concur.
