Opinion
February 6, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lawrence J. Tonetti, J.).
For the reasons stated in our decision on the appeal of co-defendant Lazarcheck (People v. Lazarcheck, 176 A.D.2d 691), we reject defendant's argument that the evidence at trial was insufficient to establish a forcible stealing. Nor was the evidence insufficient to establish the value of the stolen car (see, People v. Carter, 19 N.Y.2d 967). The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying counsel's request for a recess (see, Matter of Anthony M., 63 N.Y.2d 270, 283-284). We have considered defendant's pro se claims and find them to be without merit.
