Opinion
2003-04327.
Decided April 26, 2004.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Farneti, J.), rendered April 25, 2003, convicting him of grand larceny in the first degree and offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree (five counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Hession Bekoff, Mineola, N.Y. (Andrew Paul Cooper of counsel), for appellant.
Eliot Spitzer, Attorney-General, New York, N.Y. (Robin A. Forshaw and Alyson J. Gill of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Suffolk County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50(5).
The defendant argues that the Supreme Court erred in refusing a specific request for a jury charge. However, the jury charge, viewed in its entirety, adequately conveyed the appropriate legal standards to the jury ( see People v. Williams, 81 N.Y.2d 303; People v. Storms, 2 A.D.3d 757; People v. Lawrence, 298 A.D.2d 405).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, LUCIANO and COZIER, JJ., concur.
