292 A.D.2d 161 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

382

March 5, 2002.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Peter Benitez, J.), rendered May 14, 1999, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 7½ to 15 years, unanimously affirmed.

Allen H. Saperstein for respondent.

William A. Loeb for defendant-appellant.

Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Ellerin, Lerner, Rubin, Marlow, JJ.


Defendant's challenges to the prosecutor's summation do not warrant reversal (see, People v. D'Alessandro, 184 A.D.2d 114, 118-119, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 884). With respect to two of the three challenged remarks, the court sustained objections and provided curative instructions that were sufficient to prevent any prejudice (see, People v. Santiago, 52 N.Y.2d 865). The remaining remark did not constitute an attack on defense counsel and did not deprive defendant of a fair trial.

We perceive no basis for a reduction of sentence.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
