Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Minardo, J.), rendered June 25, 1996, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Steven A. Feldman, Roslyn, N.Y., for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Roseann B. MacKechnie, Victor Barall, and Marie-Claude P. Wrenn of counsel), for respondent.
DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO and SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention on appeal, the Supreme Court did not err in granting the People's reverse-Batson motion (see, People v. Payne, 88 N.Y.2d 172 ; People v. Richie, 217 A.D.2d 84 ).
The defendant's remaining contention lacks merit.
