People v. Brodie

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 11, 1991
170 A.D.2d 518 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

February 11, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Aiello, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We find that the defendant failed to preserve the issue of the court's denial of his pretrial motion for a severance pursuant to CPL 200.40 based on an incriminating statement of the codefendant Michael Sennon. At the trial, the defendant requested severance solely on the basis of an incriminating statement made by the codefendant Shannon Kelly. There was no request for severance on the basis of the codefendant Sennon's statement (see, People v Sennon, 170 A.D.2d 546 [decided herewith]; People v Kelly, 170 A.D.2d 537 [decided herewith]). Even though such a motion was made by the codefendant Robert Brodie, this defendant failed to preserve the claim for appellate review on his own behalf (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, the contention is without merit (see, People v Lowen, 100 A.D.2d 518, 519; see also, People v Brodie, 170 A.D.2d 519 [decided herewith]).

The defendant's claim that the defense of the codefendant Robert Brodie was antagonistic to his defense was similarly unpreserved for appellate review. This contention is also without merit (see, CPL 200.40; People v Mahboubian, 74 N.Y.2d 174, 183-185; People v Brodie, 170 A.D.2d 519 [decided herewith], supra).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Eiber and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
