Opinion
January 29, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Appelman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the trial court responded accurately and meaningfully to the jury's inquiry as to whether the defendant, during his trial testimony, placed one of the arresting officers at the scene of the arrest (see, CPL 310.30; People v. Malloy, 55 N.Y.2d 296, cert denied 459 U.S. 847; People v. Blanche, 152 A.D.2d 770). In any event, we conclude that any error arising out of the trial court's answer to the jury's inquiry did not unduly prejudice the defendant inasmuch as the trial court, in response to a subsequent request by the jury, read back the defendant's entire trial testimony. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
