Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 20, 1995
216 A.D.2d 125 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 20, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Rena Uviller, J.).


Defendant's request to charge the defense of agency was properly denied. Where the undercover officer, a complete stranger, asked defendant if he was "open", and, upon defendant's reply, "Yes * * * how many [do] you want?", placed an order with defendant for "Two", and defendant immediately relayed the undercover's order to the codefendant, who completed the sale, there was no evidence whatsoever "indicative of a relationship with the buyer" ( People v Herring, 83 N.Y.2d 780, 783) warranting an agency charge.

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Ross, Asch, Nardelli and Tom, JJ.
