Opinion
December 11, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Sherman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment and the amended judgment are affirmed.
The trial court allowed a key prosecution witness to testify anonymously. The defendant's objection to the court's ruling was made at a time when the alleged error could no longer effectively be cured. Therefore, this claim of error is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05). Moreover, review of this claim of error in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction is unwarranted in light of the fact that the alleged error could not have affected the outcome of the trial (cf., People v Kearse, 215 A.D.2d 104; People v Remgifo, 150 A.D.2d 736).
The defendant's remaining contention is meritless. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Rosenblatt and Hart, JJ., concur.
