296 A.D.2d 556 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

2000-10757

Submitted May 16, 2002.

July 22, 2002.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Cotter, J.), rendered November 1, 2000, convicting him of robbery in the third degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Robert J. Rountry, Freeport, N.Y., for appellant.

Denis Dillon, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Bruce E. Whitney and Karen Wigle Weiss of counsel), for respondent.

Before: NANCY E. SMITH, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's argument, the evidence was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the market value of the stolen items exceeded the $1,000 threshold needed to sustain a conviction of grand larceny in the fourth degree (see People v. Irrizari, 5 N.Y.2d 142; People v. Hill, 220 A.D.2d 927).

Furthermore, the defendant's claim that the jury charge was confusing and erroneous is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05; People v. Rodriguez, 187 A.D.2d 465).

SMITH, J.P., S. MILLER, FRIEDMANN and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
