Opinion
September 30, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Monroe County, Mark, J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Lawton, Wesley and Davis, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that Supreme Court improperly allowed the People to bolster the testimony of the complainant by admitting the testimony of a third person on the complainant's "prompt complaint" of rape. The court did not err in allowing that testimony to establish prompt complaint. It did not constitute bolstering (see, People v McDaniel, 81 N.Y.2d 10, 14, 17-18; cf., People v. Taylor, 142 A.D.2d 410, 421, affd 75 N.Y.2d 277). Even if the testimony constituted bolstering, its admission was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of defendant's guilt (see, People v Marks, 182 A.D.2d 1122).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit.
