Opinion
Argued November 21, 2000.
December 12, 2000.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kohm, J.), rendered November 14, 1997, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (Camilla B. Taylor of counsel), for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot, Brian J. Stavrides, and Patricia Malloy of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The alleged errors claimed by the defendant are either unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or were cured by the trial court's prompt instructions to the jury.
The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
