Opinion
December 20, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Marshall, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Denman, Green, Pine and Lawton, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly found that the prosecutor proffered reasonably specific race-neutral reasons for his use of peremptory challenges to exclude three black members of the jury panel (see, Batson v Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79; People v Scott, 70 N.Y.2d 420; People v Burnett, 152 A.D.2d 910). On this record, we find no abuse of discretion by the sentencing court in imposing the maximum permissible sentence.
