Opinion
November 19, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Rena Uviller, J.).
Defendant failed to preserve, by specific objection, his challenges to the undercover officer's testimony with reference to the absence of prerecorded buy money ( People v. Graves, 85 N.Y.2d 1024, 1026-27), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that to the extent this testimony could be considered statistical evidence, it was sufficiently brief and limited to avoid undue prejudice ( People v. Vargas, 213 A.D.2d 258, lv denied 86 N.Y.2d 742; People v. Tevaha, 204 A.D.2d 92, affd 84 N.Y.2d 879).
