People v. Colon

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

175 A.D.2d 637 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

July 12, 1991

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Maloy, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Denman, Green and Lowery, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject defendant's contention that the trial court erred in denying his request to charge the jury on the law of entrapment. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to defendant, we find that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that defendant was improperly induced to engage in any criminal act for which he lacked a predisposition (see, People v Butts, 72 N.Y.2d 746; People v Alwadish, 67 N.Y.2d 973, 974; People v Thompson, 47 N.Y.2d 940, 941; People v Pilgrim, 154 A.D.2d 407, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 816; People v Beverly, 148 A.D.2d 922, lv denied 74 N.Y.2d 661).

We have examined defendant's other contention and find it to be without merit.
