People v. Foster

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 6, 1992
182 A.D.2d 636 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

April 6, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Berkowitz, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that he was denied his right to a fair trial because the testimony of two police witnesses bolstered the identification testimony of the undercover officer who purchased narcotics from the defendant. However, since the defendant failed to object to the admission of the challenged testimony, any error of law with respect thereto is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Brown, 161 A.D.2d 778). In any event, any error in the admission of the subject testimony was harmless in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; see also, People v Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969; People v Larsen, 157 A.D.2d 672).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J.P., Eiber, O'Brien and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
